Sort Order in Column Browser iTunes 10

Several versions back, the sort order was numbers first and then letters. In other words, sorted in ascii sort order. For some reason, iTunes decided to change this. Will you please put an option in iTunes to change it to ascii sort order. Thank you so much.

First give the list a "kick" by sorting by some other fields, closing and reopening iTunes, and then sorting again by Artist.
Also look at the Sorting tab and make sure the tracks do not have data that could be interfering with the Sort Artist, namely Sort Album Artist.
If neither of those helps, you have probably discovered a bug in 9.1, which you can report here:

  • Finder - changing sort order in column view

    Anyone know a way to change the sort order when using the COLUMN view in Finder? It's defaulting to alpha and I'd like to change it so when I'm viewing a particular folder the contents are displayed by Date Modified like I can when using the other views.
    THANKS!

    Hi VFRJOEY,
    there is no way to change the sort order in column-view. This was under discussion since the very first release of MacOS X but never made it into any one of the releases.

  • Sort order in Photo Browser

    The sort order of photos appearing in Photo Browser while in Mail has been, until recently, showing the most recent photos first.
    Today, it started showing the oldest photos first.
    Any ideas about what I did to change the order, and how I can reverse the current sort order to return to the prior state?
    I'd like to have the newest photos appear first, as they have for some time.
    Running Mail in Snow Leopard 10.6. 8.
    Many thanks for help!

    Thanks Steven,
    Ok I was only half wrong so they are in alphabetical order, but not numerical order. In the Mac finder window in list or icon view it sorts automatically in alphabetical and numerical. Question 1: Is there no way to change the sorting order in Premiere?
    I'm still living with a few projects that were shot on tape and where the previous video editor auto numbered digitized clips. Question 2: I'm not going to redigitize this project in Premiere, but for another tape based project would I be able to set up this numbering scheme you mention?
    The mac finder sorts them correctly due to an update they did to the OS a long time ago that means it recognizes 10 as coming after 9 rather than needing to put 09 for it to work. Most systems don't work that way.
    You could always download a simple batch renaming app, I think there's a few around, and just rename them with zeros in front. Would probably take you about ten minutes tops, including downloading the app.
    As for sorting them within Premiere, in list mode you just click the header of the column you want to sort by. But if you're sorting by name it will display them in the order they're currently in, because that is technically correct.

  • Album sort order suddenly gone crazy iTunes

    G'day people
    For some reason, the last couple of albums I've downloaded from the iTunes store, to my iTunes, displays those albums groups by artist instead of album. Even when I select them an manually change the sort order it makes no difference.
    Pre-existing albums already in iTunes are not affected, just newly downloaded. This is also happening with albums I purchase directly from the iPhone and sync back to iTunes on my Mac.
    Has anybody else come across this problem and have any suggestions on how I can fix it?
    Cheers
    Al

    Figured it out. I added "Various Artists" in the Album Artist field for every track and it then sorted them all together.

  • Sort Order in Smart Playlist iTunes 9.1

    Now that I've upgraded to 9.1 I am finding that the sort order is gone wrong in Smart Playlists. What is happening is that artists are being sorted by their first name rather than by their last name regardless of what I have entered in Sort Artist field.
    However, the sort works as it should in the Library list.
    So, using Paul McCartney as an example; I have in the Artist field *Paul McCartney*, in the Sort Artist field I have *McCartney Paul*. When I view my music in the Library list he is sorted under M. But when I view my music in a Smart Playlist he is sorted under P.

    First give the list a "kick" by sorting by some other fields, closing and reopening iTunes, and then sorting again by Artist.
    Also look at the Sorting tab and make sure the tracks do not have data that could be interfering with the Sort Artist, namely Sort Album Artist.

  • Predefined sort order of columns

    Hi,
    when my Discoverer users add columns to their tables they expect a certain sort order without having to press the 'sort button' or use the 'edit sheet dialog'.
    My only idea so far is to use a custom folder and ORDER BY in the SQL.
    Is there any better way to achieve a certain predefined sort order?
    Thanks
    Franziska

    While creating calculations and adding sorts on all of the columns will solve the immediate issue, every new worksheet will require the users to go through the same steps. It also sounds like your users actively create workbooks and sheets as needed, and these steps will have to be repeated.
    Something I thought of this morning may (or may not) work, and unfortunately I do not have time to test it today. But ... what if you created a view with an ORDER BY clause to sort the data as you wanted it sorted. In theory, the results should be returned ordered, without having to add any sorts at the Disco level. Since there is a fair amount of work in "retooling" a BA to use the views, it would be good to do a small proof of concept. Like I said, it might not work for a variety of reasons, and I am not sure what would happen if a user added a sort in Disco, or when two folders were joined.
    If it works, though, the sorting would be performed at the database level, with no additional sorting in Disco, and adding and removing columns from a report would have no impact on the sort.
    Then again, it might not work at all.

  • How to Control Sort Order of Playlists in iTunes?

    As far as I can tell, somewhere along the way iTunes stopped sorting playlists alphabetically, numbers before letters, and started sorting playlists alphabetically, letters before numbers. Or at least that's how it now happens on my iPhone; I think the change happened with the iPhone 3.0 OS update.
    Has anyone found a better way to set a sort order than by putting "AA" and "AAA" in front of the playlists they want to have at the top of the list? Because that's an awfully inelegant solution -- to my mind, if you have to use a prefix at all, using 01, 02 et cetera was a far better way of doing things. Is there a setting I can tick to go back to the old way? Or, better still, a way to set that sort order arbitrarily, independent of the playlists' names?
    Message was edited by: Andrew Willett

    If you label your favorite/priority playlists as A1, A2, A3...B1, B2, B3
    Then they will sort the way you want (except on the iPod Classic which seems to have it's own sorting).

  • Unexpected Sort Order in Column

    Hi,
    I would like to put at the end of my view, documents with titles beginning with a special character like ~ or { but it goes always at the top of the view. I was expecting that  ~ or { comes after the letters and numbers.
    Do you know why or can you give to me such a character.
    Best regards,
    Christophe

    I believe this is similar to the Excel Sorting
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/sort-data-in-excel-services-HA010105468.aspx
    Alphanumeric text is sorted left to right, character by character. For example, if a cell contains the text "A100," Excel Services places the cell after a cell that contains the entry "A1" and before a cell that contains the entry "A11."
    Text and text that includes numbers stored as text are sorted in the following order:
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (space) ! " # $ % & ( ) * , . / : ; ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~ + < = > 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
    Apostrophes (') and hyphens (-) are ignored, with one exception: If two text strings are the same except for a hyphen, the text with the hyphen is sorted last.
     Note   If you have changed the default sort order to be case-sensitive through the
    Sort Options dialog box in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, then the order for alphabetic characters is the following: a A b B c C d D e E f F g G h H i I j J k K l L m M n N o O p P q Q r R s S t T u U v V w W x X y Y z Z

  • Any way to change sort order of playlists in iTunes?

    When you select Music (top left of screen) and Playlists (top middle of screen) in iTunes 11, a list of playlists appears in a pane on the left.  The playlists are sorted first by smart playlists, then by normal playlists (with individual playlists sorted alphabetically within each of the two groupings).
    I want all the playlists sorted alphabetically, regardless of whether each one is a smart playlist or a normal playist.  Any way to do this?  Thx

    The answer is no, the order cannot be changed.

  • Sort Order of columns in a Table under the Databases Dialog

    Is there a way to reset the order in which the columns
    (fields) appear in the database dialog on the panel? When I attach
    to MySQL or Oracle, all the fields come up in alphabetical order
    rather than table order. This is very unproductive when working
    with dynamic pages and needing to have the fields in the exact
    table order.
    Thanks for any help!

    I dunno for sure, but I've seen this question asked a few
    times and the answer has always been no - you're stuck with it that
    way. I would send an enhancement request to Adobe for this.

  • Changing sort order changes column width

    I turned on column sorting (Report Attributes -> Sort checkbox) for a particular column. Now when I sort descending on that column, it seems to disable word-wrap and the width of the column increases dramatically.
    Does anyone know why this happens or how to prevent it?

    The width of the column would be the width of the widest bit of text within the column.
    You can fix the width of a column by entering the following into the HTML Expression for the column definition:
    &lt;table&gt;&lt;col style="width:100px;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;#COLUMN_NAME#&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

  • PCUI - Sort order in columns

    Hi,
    I am trying to get a list in PCUI to be sorted by date, but descending. Right now I can check the "sorted" property in the field group, but thant only allows me to have the list sorted ascending by this field on load.
    Any idea on how to reverse this?
    -Thomas

    Hi,
    thanks for the answer. I had already figured you could re-sort the data by clicking on the column headers, but I was actually looking for a solution to have the data sorted descending by date by default, without user action.
    One would think that in the list of the last actions in a lead this would be a desired feature...
    Again, thanks for the time

  • Date Sort Order in Column View?

    10.4 could not do this.
    Can 10.5?

    I believe you have to go to Show View Options when you are in column view (click the Action (Gear) button). See at the bottom of this page:
    http://osxhelp.com/os-x-finder-tutorial-and-customizations-part-5/
    You will see an item in the little window that pops up called "Arrange by".

  • Browser Sort Order Always Reset

    In Aperture 2, I set the sort order in the browser view once (to order by date) and then never thought about it again. In Aperture 3, it always defaults to Manual - even if I change it to Date, a little late it's back to Manual again. I can't see a way to set a default, so it stays on Date sort order.
    Am I missing something - is this possible?

    I am in the same boat. Although sort by date is checked off but later when you import something the projects are not sorted by date but sort by date is still checked off.

  • Sort order in an interactive report

    In APEX 4.1 I am trying to create an interactive report based on a table that's similar to the following:
    id - number
    colA - varchar2
    colB - varchar2
    colC - date
    colD - varchar2
    In the IR, I'd like to have break on column A so that the report displays as follows:
    colA
    id, colb, colB, colC, colD
    I want the sort order for column A to be based on the ID column, but I find that APEX displays it in alpha order based on the value for column A. I could include the value for ID in the break, but since it only has meaning inside the database, it leads to confusion among the users. I read some other posts where people have included the ID field and then used javascript to hide it in the report. I was wondering if there might be an alternative solution.

    AT USER-COMMAND.
    CASE SY-UCOMM.
    WHEN 'BACK'.
    IF SY-LSIND = 5.
    SY-LSIND = 1.
    ENDIF.
    ENDCASE.
    YOU CAN ASSIGN THE VALUE FOR SY-LSIND .
