Re-ordering tracks in playlists

I have imported a language training cd into my library. The tracks are all transferred in the order in which they appear on the original CD. When I transfer them into Playlists some tracks are out of order.
I did find a post in this forum suggesting using "get Info" option following a right click on the "offending" track(s). The track numbers in the INFO tab are all correctly numbered but the tracks still appear in the incorrect order in the Playlist.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.

Manually change the track order in a playlist?

I have purchased and downloaded 20 tracks from the Itunes store with just two artists involved, 8 tracks from one and 12 tracks from the other. I've created a playlist and at the moment the tracks are listed first by artist 1 and then artist 2. I want to burn this playlist to a cd, but before I do I want to shuffle the tracks manually.
There seems to be no obvious way of doing this. Help would be appreciated.

The choices available in the Sort By dropdown are based on the columns you've chosen to display in Songs view (which is why - in part - your screenshot looks different to mine). However, the only place I can see where the Manual Order option is absent is where you are looking at the complete Library (where the Track Number column is not being displayed) and not a specific playlist. In the latter case I always get that option, independent of the columns that are selected and displayed.
Likewise, every playlist - when viewed in Songs view - has an unlabeled column at the left hand side which is the effective "play order" for the playlist (which is what tt2 refers to in his response above). Also, your screenshot shows an "iCloud Download" option, which I only see as being available when looking at the library as a whole and not at a playlist. I was also caught out by the presence of a "Ticked" option but I assume that this is a regionalization issue - for me (configured for US English) the corresponding entry is "Checked".
You may have an underlying issue here but I would double check that you are looking at Songs view for a specific playlist and not the whole library.

Match is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. how can I fix this?

I've set my iPhone to use iTunes Match, but it is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. And there isn't an oedering system on the iPhone, so I have to do it by hand. how can I fix this?

Sad to see that people have been complaining about this since last year (although not many seem to care, which is odd). For classical music listeners it is a total slap in the face.

Can't move tracks in playlists

Since upgrading I appear unable to move tracks within playlists. Previously I just 'drag and dropped'. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem about dragging songs within play lists. Things were all great last night as we were making music for our wedding and then all at once it stopped allowing us to drag songs into the order we wanted. Clicking on the number column, as suggested, does not work. Any other thoughts?

I want to change the top level order of itunes playlists

This is rather odd problem. There is a lot of information available regarding organising tracks within playlists but I want o change the top level order of the playlist themselves.
I have an ipod to car CD player adaptor that can select itunes playlists as if they were single CDs. The problem is that the adaptors works through the list of itune playlists in order i.e. the first "CD" is the "classical music smart playlist" followed by the other default smart playlists and then by my own playlists. What I want is force the smart playlists to the bottom of the top level list so that the adaptor finds my playlists first. I am considering deleting all smart playlists but I see some value in keeping them. I think the answer is no it can't be done but I be interested to hear if anyone has some ideas on this.
N.B. I am using itunes 12.01.26 on my Macbook to manage my itunes library.

Hey guys m I got the answer for the below question.
Oracle have few Restriction and limitation on such Advanced table in sorting the data,
Few of them are as mentioned below ...
1. Sorting is not allowed for tables that allow inserts.
2. Sorting is not supported for tables containing updateable columns
3. Sorting is disabled when the Select column is checked for a row in a table or when Hide/Show is present in a table.
Because of the above limitations , we cannot sort or override the existing alphabetical name sort order to Date applied sort order on the View Applicant advanced table.
You can observe that , View Applicant page is having an option called "Update Status" which allow us to update applicant’s status or rating in the Advanced table.
On such updatable advanced tables, oracle does not allow us to override the sort order on any of the table columns.
Keeping it in a nutshell , I can say it's does not allow us to change the sort order of the view applicant advanced table ( which is having updateable columns ) to sort them in Date applied instead of Name( which is default ).

New BT Infinity order... Order tracking fails

Hello,
I ordered BT Infinity this afternoon, as my cabinet went live this Saturday. I gave my MAC code to the BT rep on the phone, and everything went smoothly. I have an engineer booked for 1st November between 8am-1pm to install Infinity and get everything sorted.
My only problem is that the rep said I could track my order at any time through the BT order tracking page, but it doesn't work with my reference number. When I type my reference number in to the "VOL011" box, and my postcode, I get the following error:
Order not found
The order details you have entered were for a cancelled order, which we are unable to display.
This could be due to one of the following reasons:
You no longer require the product or service associated with your order and have cancelled this yourself after discussing and agreeing with a member of our team
Our suppliers are unable to fulfil some of the requirements of your order and we will be contacting you shortly to discuss this in more detail with you.
If there is a problem with your order please be assured we will contact you directly to discuss this further. For any other queries, please call us on 0800 800 150
Opening hours are 8am to 8pm Monday – Friday, 9am to 6pm – Saturday/Sunday.
Should I be worried about this? The BT rep said I will receive my Infinity equipment on the phone on the 28th October, along with documentation of my new contract with BT. I really want this to go smoothly, as I have been looking forward to getting BT Infinity for literally over a year. I am aware that the order screen is probably just glitchy - as much of the BT member pages are at times, but I would very much like a member of the forum staff to check over my order and make sure that it's all progressing well. My tracking reference is useless, and it has got me worried! I only ordered the product 8 or so hours ago, so I'm hoping this is just a minor error with the website, and my order hasn't actually bee cancelled (especially after I went through all the effort of signing up over the phone).
Any help the Admins/Mods could provide would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Tim
Solved!

Hi Tim
I reckon by tomorrow (Wed) the Bt system should have sorted itself, if it hasn't there is no harm in ringing BT.
The VOL part of your order number indicates an order made over the phone.. so maybe even though the sales staff type the order as your speaking to them I suppose the system may take a while to synchronise things compared to an order made over the internet...
waffling a bit here am I not
If after phoning you are unhappy or worried then the way to get help from the BT Forum mods is to fill in a contact form obtained by clicking on one of their names.
Here is a form you can use http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951
Normally will contact you within 72hrs but it will depend on their workload... they will make contact.
Edit... I wonder if you've ordered a telephone line as well as Infinity?
This can cause a problem. Some people have had Infinity installed on the same day as the telephone line is installed others have problem with the line being installed but infinity cancelled or delayed.
It shouldn't happen I know but sometimes it's a problem.
On a further point I recommend you ask the engineer to mount the Openreach Modem on a wall. it's cooling vents work better that way.
And if your planning on using Infinity over a wireless connection then wireless "n" gives you the best speed.
It's easy to change your PC/laptop if your on wireless "g" you just plug a wireless "n" adapter into a spare USB socket.
Info on identifying wireless g or wireless n HERE.

Customer Service re Order Tracking

My BT Vision+ box lost its internet connection because of a faulty Powerline Adapter on Monday 9th; problem dealt with efficiently on callcentre chatline and a pair of adapters were to be supplied. I got an email next day to say they were on the way and due for delivery by Royal Mail on Wednesday 11th. Tracking number and VOL references were supplied. The adapters didn't arrive on 11th; the numbers didn't seem to mean anything on Royal Mail's tracking website so I phoned BT on 0800 800 150 and Sharon at BT checked out the order and said the parts would be delivered 'today'(ie Thursday 12th) - but nothing turned up. Today (Friday 13th) I've been trying on and off to make contact with some human being at BT - totally unsuccessfully other than time spent talking to the Indian (?) callcentre who didn't know who would deal with the issue; they eventually transferred the call which I hung up after listening to music for 30 minutes.
How long am I supposed to hang around waiting for a delivery that may never arrive; I can't use the BT service I'm paying for. I don't know what to try next!

Just an update; finally got to speak to someone at BT Order Tracking late on Friday 13th; they said there been some undisclosed delay on my order; they said a new package would be sent out with delivery scheduled for Tuesday 17th. I told them I was dissatisfied with BT's service as I had been denied full functionality of my BTVision+ service for 5 days so far. They agreed to log my complaint with a view to compensation.
AMAZINGLY! - the package containing the Powerline adapters arrived at 9.15 on Saturday morning (14th); but this was the original consignment which was supposed to have been delivered by Royal Mail on Wednesday (11th).
All's well as ends well!
But I do wonder about the difficulty in finding the right buttons to press to get action or - at least - a truthful response from BT.

How can I sync my ipod shuffle so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

How can I sync my ipod shuffle (4th generation) so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

Is the playlist in your iTunes library, or is it already on the shuffle (as a playlist)?
If you created one or more playlists for your shuffle in your iTunes library (with the songs in the desired playlist order), you should set up automatic syncing. Here's how to do that, if you have not already...
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Near the top of the window, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs. (Sorry if you know this already...)
Check the box for Sync Music. Below that, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. In your case, find and checkmark those playlists you want under Playlists. When you click Apply, the songs on those playlists and the playlists sync to the shuffle.
When using your shuffle, the default playlist that you are using is the All Songs list. To play songs in order, the shuffle's power switch needs to be set to the play-in-order (middle) position. However, if you are playing from the All Songs list, the songs play in alphabetical order.
To play from a particular playlist that is on the shuffle, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to that playlist. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on a shuffle

When playing from a particular playlist, with the power switch set to play-in-order, the songs play in playlist order.

ITunes 10.6.3 keeps generating incomplete downloads AND it rearranges the order of the playlist when I burn a playlist to an mp3 cd

iTunes 10.6.3 keeps generating incomplete downloads AND it rearranges the order of the playlist when I burn a playlist to an mp3 cd.
I purchased an album on iTues from my MAC book Pro & the song downloads were incomplete. The song length shows correctly in the column, but they cut off between 1/4 & 1/2 way through the songs. Now, I dwonloaded it on my iPhone 4 through my itunes account after the purchase & the songs play fine. This happened with the very next song I purchased, as well.
I got around this issue, then created mp3 versions of all the songs, put them in their own playlist, then "Burned an mp3 disc." When it completed, the songs were in a different order.
Are there any fixes for either of these problems/bugs?

How do I keep the order of a playlist when I synch to my 1st gen. shuffle?

Hi,
I have a 1st generation Shuffle and am trying to synch a playlist to it. I am able to drag and synch the playlist, but once it gets on my Shuffle, all the songs are alphabetized. I want to keep them in the order of my playlist. How do I do this? I am SO frustrated! Thanks, Melissa

Melissa, once you go to the contents page of your device, you will see panels that say: Name, Time, Artist, etc. By clicking on one of these panels, you can change the order according to these criteria. I had this same problem for 2 weeks, couldn't figure it out. My wife solved it in 2 minutes. Try this and good luck.

Order of a playlist

I have several playlists. They are arranged in order by the singer or band. For example, all Stevie Wonder songs are together in that playlist, and all Beatles songs are together in that same playlist. I must have hit the wrong button, because on one of my playlists the playlist is now in alphabetical order by song, regardless of the singer. The only exception are the last few songs of that playlist, which are the songs of one musical group. I have tried getting rid of shuffle, and also going into the control tab and trying various possibilities. Nothing works. No problems with the other playlists, just this one. I was listening to that playlist and must have hit the wrong button and messed up the order. My question is, how do I revert back to the original order of the playlist I previously had, where the songs were grouped by band, not by alphabetical order of the songs? In general, how does one get the playlist to go back to the original order before I accidentally hit a button and randamized it? Must I use time machine, which I do not know at all?

Thanks. I found it just before I received your reply. I click the top of the column on the left that lists the numbers. Whew!!

Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod?

Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod? To clarify, I'm asking about the order of the playlists themselves (should be alpha) and not the order of the songs in the playlist. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1, and a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2.

I beleive when Photo Stream first started it only sent photos to other devices and didn't delete them so you'll have to start fresh. Be aware it can take a little time for the changes to take effect depending on your upload speed of your internet.
I think to start out you'll have to delete all the photos on each device first which will also delete the new ones from the stream. Make an album in iPhoto on your Mac with all the photos in My Photo Stream. Then delete all the photos on Photo Stream on all devices then add all the photos back to My Photo Stream on the Mac.
May I suggest setting up a Shared Photo Stream for this purpose and keep the My Photo Stream for the new photos taken with your devices. Also be aware of the 30 day 1000 photo limits on Photo Stream.

Song order rearranges in playlists

I listen to music on my iPhone 4 (6.1.3 - not enough space to upgrade to ios7) when working out and traveling. Recently I tried to change the order of songs in a couple of playlists and add new songs and the changes won't keep. For instance when editing the playlist, if I move a song from the bottom of the playlist to somewhere in the middle when I hit done the song i moved will disappear from where I had it back to the bottom of the list and another song from the bottom will take that spot.
I have tried moving songs in several playlists and the same thing happens. I will edit the order in the playlist to be what I want but as soon as I hit done it either reverts to the way it was or songs will just be in random spots.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, while the playlist in iTunes and the playlist on the iPhone, as it appears in iTunes, match, the problem is that the iPhone seems to be stripping the instruction to order the songs randomly. That instruction is given in the 'limit to 30 GB selected by random' line. The list on the iPhone is in order from least recently played to most recently played. The highlighted column in the playlist is the leftmost 'number' column not the Last Played column. Any clues hiding out there?

How can I do order tracking with a DC speed signal?

I'm using SignalExpress 2009 to bring in several strain signals which will require order tracking. The speed signal will be a 4-20 mA DC input. How can I set this up as my speed reference?

Hello AEI_JR,
I have been playing around with this and here's what I've found. It's a three step process, but we can absolutely do this (even if it's not intuitive).
Steps 1 and 2 are to drag your signals of interest to a time domain plot (same one). You want to add your x-axis first and then your y-axis. You'll see the units on the side change from step 1 to 2 from <unit> to Amplitude as shown below. Step 3 is to right click and select View As»XY Graph. The three looks are shown below. Cheers!
