Sort order for podcasts

Alright, the elimination of podcasts from the Music app has finally forced me to load the Podcasts app again.  While the interface isn't as excrable as it once was, I've still got a major problem: the shows seem to be listed in random order.  I've found how to sort them manually, but I listen to dozens of shows- is there really no way to make the app sort them alphabetically by show title- you know, the way iTunes has been doing it since Podcasting started?
Yes, I've tried Downcast (again), but it's only identifying 6 of subrscriptions to sync.
This seems crazy to me, and it also feels like adding insult to injury since I really liked having all my audio content in one place and they've broken that for me.  But to break it and force me into an app that doesn't even have basic sorting?  Really?

Update:  I re-rdered them manually... and the app reset them.  I think it might be etting them in order of recent DL, but that's irrelevant to me.  If I wan to listen to Girl On Guy, I really don't care that there's a more recent episode of Hardcore History.  Some shows I listen to as they come out (like MacOSKen, or Wait Wait).  Others are not timely, and are much better for binge lsitening (hisotry podcasts, for example).
I'm appalled and really kind of worried.  Can someplease point me to a fix?

  • What's the sort order for podcasts on the shuffle?

    Hi all... Can someone tell me how the iPod Shuffle orders podcasts? I've seen MANY posts saying there's no way to manually sort podcasts on the shuffle (which is crazy IMO), but at least if I know how it's ordering the podcasts that'll help me identify which one is next.
    I added 15 podcasts to the shuffle, and sorting by every category I can find none that matches the order the shuffle places the podcasts in.
    So first question -- what order are the podcasts stored in?
    And second question -- Why the heck did Apple do this? Why can't podcasts just be treated like standard MP3 songs?
    And finally if there's no answer to either of these, is there anyway to get ipodderx to sync to the ipod shuffle? I love itunes, but if it's going to hender my hardware I'll switch to something else.
    Thanks for any help on this, and take care --

    Hi Dean,
    I'm wondering if something's wrong with my podcast, because that's not what happens on mine. For example I have my podcasts in this order:
    NPR Technology
    Haunted New Jersey
    Autumn in New England
    Hometown Tales Podcast
    And even after selecting File then Update iPod and even right-clicking on ipod and selecting Copy to Play Order the order of the podcasts are :
    Haunted New Jersey
    Hometown Tales Podcast
    NPR Technology
    Hometown Tale Podcast
    Nothing I've done sorts the podcasts as they should be sort. Also i set it to not show the ipod unless it's connected, and when I sort the podcasts as I want, Update ipod, and plug ipod, plugging it back in shows the wacky sort order they're stored on the ipod. I can rearrange again, update again, eject and plug back in, and the crazy sort order (not mine) is back.
    Is there something I'm missing????

  • Default Sort Order for Library View

    It would be fantastic if there were a user defined preference for a default sort order in Library view. For example, some users may prefer to always view the images by File Name, or Rating, etc, without having to change the sort order for each individual folder they view via Lightroom.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your suggestion Allan, but it doesn't work.
    I'm specifically referring to the defaults that Aperture 3 adopts when you use the "File, Import, Folders as Projects with the projects and albums setting.
    What I'm finding is regardless of the setting in the Library preferences, the default sort order for the project is Date and Manual for the album.
    Yet if I create a project manually the default sort order is as per the Library prefs. Strange.

  • How do I change the Sort order for Music Video's on the iPad

    Hi All,
    Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere - I can find posts about sort order for TV Shows and Movies but not Music Video's.
    When I sync my music video's the appear in Track order in the video app and I cannot find how to change the sort order to 'by Artist' (or any other order come to that).

  • Default column sort order for 11g table

    Could anyone give me some indication on how I would go about setting the default sort order for a table?
    I have a table with a few columns, and dataset returns in a particular order, but my table decides to sort if in any given order until I manually click on the column header and sort it.
    I would like to have it done by default on a particular field.
    Any info is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jonny

    As Chris says, the easiest way and best re-use way is to use the order-by clause in your underlying model layer SQL query. For instance in ADF BC this would be in a View Object's query.
    However as you haven't dictated your model layer technology, there is another way in JDev 11g. In your web page that contains the ADF Faces RC table, select the binding tab at the bottom of the page, then double click on the iterator in the binding page, and in the Edit Iterator Binding dialog, select the Sort Criteria tab. This allows you to override the sort order on the iterator's columns.

  • Sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin)

    FrameMaker 10 (Windows)
    It seems that if I specify the sort order for Simplified Chinese (pinyin) on the reference page,
    index entries that start with "i" and "v" are not shown under their corresponding group titles.
    (I assume that this may be due to the fact that pinyin words never start with these letters.)
    If I have an entry that starts with an English word like "IP," it appears under the "J" group.
    I want the entry to appear under the "I" group. How can I do this?
    I have the IX reference page set up as follows:
    GroupTitlesIX paragraph
    Symbols[\];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$pinyin>
    I've also tried:
    SortOrderIX paragraph
    <$symbols><$numerics><$pinyin>
    Thanks in advance.

    I sort of found a workaround, but it may lead to other problems, so use it at your own risk.
    It also requires a bit of work.
    The idea is to use the sort order for Japanese by specifying the following in the IX reference page.
    Symbols[\ ];数字[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z;あ;い;う;え;お;か;き;く;け;こ;さ;し;す;せ;そ ;た;ち;つ;て;と;な;に;ぬ;ね;の;は;ひ;ふ;へ;ほ;ま;み;む;め;も;や;ゆ;よ;ら;り;る;れ;ろ;わ;ん;[ ]
    <$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics><$kana>
    Then, you need to capitalize the first letter in the bracket used for sorting for every index entry.
    Example:
    Instead of
    画面[hua4mian4]
    specify
    画面[Hua4mian4]
    Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to do a search and replace on all index entries to capitalize the first letter...

  • Sort Order for Legend and X Axis

    Does anyone know of a way to keep a specific sort order for both the X Axis and the Legend. Both start with numbers and I can get one or the other to sort correcly on the chart but not both. Biggest problem is not all of the legend items are in the first X Axis item so the colors change on the bar graph depending on the legend items in the first X Axis item.

    If you tie bar colors with values, how you will differentiate the bars for different legends.
    Take an example, there are three columns Employee, Location and salery have following values
    Employee Location Salery
    A London 30000
    B Chicago 40000
    C London 50000
    D Chicago 60000
    if we keep Location as Legend and Employee in X Axis, and sort Legend first then Employee. Set Blue for Chicago and Red for London, First two blue bars for A and C will be displayed and then two red bars for B and D will be displayed. Order in X axis will be A,C,B and D. This is not in sequence but this is the way it will and it should work. If you sort by Employee instead if Location, you will get sequence in X axis, but the same colored bars wont be together.
    Thanks

  • Control of sort order for asian language navigation

    I am a help writer who is working with both development and a localization vendor to create localized javahelp. I am the most knowledgeable about javahelp, which is not saying much. It has come to me to figure out how to establish the correct sort order for Simplified Chinese and Japanese language Index and Glossary navigators, Could someone explain to me how this is done outside of tools like RoboHelp (which has caused us major headaches yet seems to be the only way the vendor knows how to do JavaHelp). In layman's terms, please.

  • Changing Search sort order for Simplified Chinese

  • Change sort order of Podcasts on iPod?

    In iTunes, my podcasts are sorted in ascending order according by the Release Date field. I've also made sure that the different parts of a certain podcast episode has proper Track Numbers.
    However, on my 5.5G iPod, the podcasts are sorted in a descending order (newest first) which plays everything backwards (i.e. a podcast with 4 parts play's part 4 first).
    How can I change the sort order of my podcasts on my iPod?
    I've noticed that even if all my podcasts have been given Track Numbers (usually 1-4 per episode), when they play on my iPod, it says "1 of 1" instead of "1 of 4" etc. Why is that?
    Also, the most annoying thing is that after a podcast has played, I'm thrown out back to the main Podcast Menu. I then have to go back into Podcasts, choose the Podcast folder and then choose the next podcast to listen to. Very weird behavior.
    My iPod is set to automatically sync with iTunes, so I can't change anything in iPod playlists in iTunes

    i discovered this completely by accident.
    connect your iPod to your computer.
    click the podcast bit of your iPod on the left hand side. (so it brings up which podcasts you have on your iPod)
    you can then click 'release date' to change the order from either newest or oldest first.
    unfortunately you can only do this for your entire podcast collection. i subscribe to some audiobook podcasts, and for some reason the episodes seem to have been released with the earlier episodes on later dates, meaning listening to the sequentially would mean listening to them backwards, but otherwise this works perfectly.
    hope that helps.

  • Reverse play order for podcasts

    After syncing Podcasts (and iTunesU) the play order on my iPod is reversed so it plays, for instance, episode n, before episode n-1, ..., before episode 2, before episode 1.
    This is very frustrating
    I listen to lots of these, so don't want to create smartlists or other manipulations, just play them in date order. Is that too difficult?

    Oh? What a strange assumption — I listen to them all
    the time. Do you always assume that others share your
    ignorance and difficulties? That must be comforting.
    Speaking only for myself, then, I have no indication
    in my iTunes of your "download" date. "Release" is a
    date column that is displayed in the Podcast playlist
    section of iTunes and, significantly, it is the only
    one which can be sorted upon.
    Sorry, it is called "Date Added", not "download date". I checked again and you are right, it is the release date according to which podcasts are sorted (and played in the shuffle). I was confused because of encounters with podcasts where the actual release date and the date of the content are not consistent.
    The date info in the Release column never changes; if
    it shows September 2005 when I first subscribe to
    some podcast, that same date is still displayed after
    I download (using "Get") in March 2006.
    Sorting on Release in iTunes does just that, and it
    is that order which, as far as I've ever been able to
    tell or determine, absolutely determines the order of
    podcast play in the Shuffle.
    Given the choice between my experience and your
    claims and assurances, I believe I'll just stick with
    what I know to be the case.
    I did but to no avail. The reason I am so ****
    ......... etc.
    You did what but to no avail? Put in your
    iTunes Feedback and are now cranky that things didn't
    just automatically change by that very afternoon?
    I did file a bug report approximately 6 months ago and didn't open my mouth again on this issue (removal of restrictions to change play order of podcasts) until now. And yes, after six months I am starting to get cranky.

  • Sorting Order for SAP Tables in DB2 database

    Dear Experts -
    ISSUE: When an ABAP program selects data from the DB into an internal
    table, it is changing the way the data is sorted. In other words, the
    internal table data is in a different sort order than what is in the
    DB. It is not working this way in all other non-production systems
    (DEV, QAS, SAX, etc).
    Temporary solution for the programs that have been identified as
    impacted: Use the ABAP Command 'sort' on the internal table.
    Permanent solution needed : Since it is impossible to identify all
    of the programs that will be impacted, we need PRD to work like DEV,
    QAS, SAX, etc. when selecting data into internal tables. The data
    should be in the same order as it is in the DB (sorted by the key).
    ADDITIONAL INFO: DB2 storage disks crashed a day before. H/W team recovered everything. We are facing this only after the recovery.
    Thanks,
    Dinesh

    can you please check in your code if the sql that is being sent has an order by clause .
    Please let us know the SQL statements that is basically used to fill up the internal table.
    When data is fetched from the database, it is not sorted always. Probably you had a clustered index on the tables and the clustering is not there now.
