Renamed files don't appear in alphabetical order

In the new iTunes, (11.0.2), there is a glitch where renaming the song won't change it's order. For example, a Violin Concerto downloaded from iTunes appears under "V" even though I renamed the file to include the composer's name "Britten: Violin Concerto". I want to have all of my music sorted by composer, not album, title, or artist. In older versions of iTunes, this was simple, just be double-clicking the name of the song, and adding the composer's name to the track if it wasn't there already. Now that this isn't working, is there any way to get around it? It's a very annoying thing to look for a piece by a particular composer, and have to scroll through hundreds, if not thousands of tracks, having no idea where it might appear.

New iTunes is 11.0.4.

This is sorting by title field (actually Name) (which had the compser name in it), not Composer field, which is a separate field.
Select Songs view.
iTunes menu View > View options.
Tick Composer.
Then click on the Composer field to sort by composer.

I´m a frequent user of personalized tags on my contacts. When I update to iOS7.0.2, my tags don't appear on alphabetical order as they were on the other system. I already made a restoration of the system and it didn't work. Is there any way to fix them?

Items not appearing in alphabetical order

Hi folks,
When a user here clicks on File - Open, her items do not appear in alphabetical order. She has to right click - Arrange By - Name.
However its in alphabetical order on mine.
Any idea how I can set hers to alphabetical order all the time?
Many thanks,
G

In the File open dialog box you can change the order the files are listed. I frequently use Date Modified so I can see the ones I most often use at the top. You change the order the files are listed the same way you do in Finder (on a Mac) and in Windows Explorer on a PC.

Make list of names in local variable list appear in alphabetical order?

When you select a variable name from the drop down list of a local variable the list appears to be in chronological order. Is there any to make this list appear in alphabetical order?
George

Hi George:
You said that local variables list appears in chronological order, but you wanted to appear in alphabetic order.
You just need to set apropiate names and then use SetTabbingOrder
You can use SetTabbingOrder to order all controls and indicators of your front panel, treating every control you see in the block diagram as one
(A cluster is one of the controls you can order, but the elements inside the cluster must be ordered with ReorderControlsInCluster right-clicking the cluster)
Returning. To SetTabbingOrder you have to click on VI's EDIT menu and select Set Tabbing Order.
The front panel will turn it's color to somethin darker, and every control will be shown with a number.
That number is it's tabbing index.
At the beginning you see a 0 in the top, that means that if you click in a control, that control will become number 0, and then the number it the top will pass to be 1, so you can select the next control in order.
If your first 23 elements are ordered, you don't need to click all 23, you can just set the top number to 23 and continue ordering.
When you reorder an element, all elements before that remain the same, and the rest are added by one.
When you are don, click on OK, or discard changes with x
This SetTabbingOrder you can do with elements in your front panel, can be done with elements into a cluster and elements into a Tab Control. Only change de name (in clusters is "Reorder controls in cluster" and in Tabs is "Reorder controls in page"), but they work the same
You might be interested in reordering in groups than reordering alphabetically?
Hope it helps,
Aitortxo.

TS4083 My mailboxes do not appear in alphabetical order in the mailbox view pane in Mac Mail??

My mailbox list in the mailbox view pane does not appear in alphabetical order. (Mac Mail iCloud account). This is on my iMac running Lion 10.7.4. Interesting though, the mailboxes are alphabetically sorted in my laptop and iPhone which are both also synced to my apple account. I'm baffled???

Hi Graham,
Getting the alphabetical sort of your songs is easy. If you upgraded to the new iTunes all you would do is view your music and go to the List view. That option is on the right hand side underneath the search bar. Once you have change to that view, just click on the Name view to organize by name.
Using the new iTunes

Attributes of an employee is not appearing in alphabetical Order

HI BI Expert,
For the BI 7.0 Template, when selecting attribute of an employee,
1. For Attributes of an employee is not appearing in alphabetical Order,where in 3.5 version they did. Is there anyway to change the order?
2. Increase the number of attribute on a page, as the page needs to
refresh each time you scroll down. Like a full list that does not scroll down
like in 3.5 version. Its very time consuming and not friendly. Is there a
way to not have the screen flicker but have the attributes scrolled or it display a full list that does not scroll down?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Pei Fung

My downloaded files don't appear in the download window

My downloaded files don't appear in the download window. The download window is blank, yet the files download OK.

Thank you for your prompt help. When I finally got to my profile file, I couldn't find downloads.rdf to delete, but I did find the downloads.sqlite file. Have I misunderstood your help?

GarageBand files don't appear in iTunes.

My exported garageband files don't appear in iTunes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You're sure they are not there? Have you done a

Spotlight?
I've tried all these things to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Sara

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

Deleted files don't appear in trash

When I drag files to trash they are deleted from the folder, but don't appear in trash. Is there some setting that has changed so the trash is emptied immediately?

Hi and welcome to  discussions.
You are probably aware that the external drive needs to be connected and showing in order to empty whatever has been deleted from it.
Deleting something via Finder should add crumpled paper to the trash icon.
However deleting from within some applications does not put the deleted file in the Desktop's trash can. iPhoto is an example of this, so using this as an example you would need to 'empty the trash' from within iPhoto or relevant application to get rid of it.

Renaming imported videos, reorganizes them in alphabetical order. How do i change this?

Here is my problem. I imported a bunch of video clips from a wedding, to create a montage and ceremony dvd. I renamed all the footage so i knew what it was, and framing and such.. After i renamed it, it reorganized my video clips in alphabetical order.. Its mixing up hundreds of video clips into random order.. I cant edit like this. How can i make the order of the clips as it was originally shot and imported?

Multiple files do not open in alphabetical order in Photoshop CS4

When I open multiple files at once in Photoshop, they never open in alphabetical order. The order is completely unpredictable. As far as I know - it's not an issue of Photoshop, cause when using Bridge to open files, they open in correct order.

It's a weirdo Finder, ummm, peculiarity, that when you select things in icon or list view alphanumeric order is not preserved. The only way to copy or open or play a QuickLook slideshow and have the correct order used is to do it from Column view. This oddity has been around for quite awhile and still isn't fixed, as of 10.5.7--so I rather expect it isn't going to be fixed any time soon.

Files don't appear visually on the desktop

I recently installed Leopard and I've been working with Logic 7.2.
Before upgrading to Leopard When I created new audio files with Logic they usually appeared immediately on the desktop if I assigned them there. With Leopard they do not. They can be seen in the Finder however. They just don't appear on the desktop. I've discovered that if I reboot then the icons show up on the desktop. I hate to have to reboot every time I want to see files that may be on my desktop, especially since I need to have visual confirmation of 20 or 30 files in one session. Is there another way or is this just a Leopard fluke?

This problem shows up with distressing frequency, and I'm not sure why. The preferences for the Desktop, such things as the view options for arrangement, whether to display a preview icon, and so on, are kept in this file:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist"
Other information is kept in .DS_Store file for the Desktop folder itself, thus when a new file is created in the Desktop folder the .DS_Store file is immediately updated with that information. Finder should be seeing this and updating the view of the Desktop that displays on the monitor, but sometimes it can be a sluggard about doing so.
You could try removing both the finder.plist file, and the Desktop's invisible .DS_Store file (you will need to turn on show invisibles to do so, or use the Terminal) and then relaunch the Finder or log out and back in and see if that fixes the problem. It should not be necessary to restart to see your Desktop files: simply opening the actual Desktop folder in your home folder should show the files, even though the Finder isn't updating the monitor display to reflect the state of the actual folder. Sometimes if you open the folder and select a file there the Finder will then update its display of the Desktop on the monitor. Also, when Finder is being unbearably slow about showing things generally you can force it to update by relaunching it: hold down the Option key and click and hold the click on the Finder icon in the Dock, then select Relaunch from the pop up menu. All folders will close and the Desktop will "blink" and then reappear--hopefully its reappearance will display all the latest files that are present in the Desktop folder.

.m4V files don't appear in iTunes until played from iTunes' 'Movies' folder

Some .m4v camcorder movie files (from a recent .avi conversion using Handbrake) just don't appear in my iTunes 'Movies' library until I double-click on them in the iTunes 'Movies' folder. Handbrake did the batch conversion and placed the converted files in the iTunes 'Movies' folder.
All of the converted files are visible in that 'Movies' folder of iTunes. And when I double-click them they play in an iTunes window. iTunes 'Movies' section seems unable to display them until they have first been played from the iTunes 'Movies' folder. Am I missing something about the way iTunes handles .m4v files?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Any idea what the issue might be?
Thanks.

Problem.
I just tried turingtest2's suggestion and it didn't work.
I converted an H264 .mov file in Handbrake and output the conversion to the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' folder. But it was not added to iTunes - it ended up in the 'Not Added' folder and remained there until I played it from that location. Then it immediately turned up in iTunes 'Movies' folder.
The Handbrake conversion was to an 'Apple TV' compatible .m4v file.
Any idea what the problem might be?
