Sort Order of All Unplayed Episodes

The sort order of all unplayed episodes is from Newest to Oldest, which is backwards for me.
Why would I listen to the Newest episode first? It completely breaks any chronology of the podcasts!
I found that you can change this for individual podcasts if you find the details by clicking on the podcast title to open its preferences, but the big list does not have the option.
Please, give me the option to ORDER THE UNPLAYED EPISODES OLDEST AT TOP TO NEWEST AT BOTTOM!
Thanks, in advance.

This did the trick for me, Harry. Thanks!
I was surprised to see you can/must set this on a podcast-by-podcast basis, but it is hard to argue with having finer control. Oldest to newest seems like a slightly more logical default, but that may just be personal preference.
Not to split off in a new direction, but if I then subscribe to a podcast in Podcasts app that I already subscribe to in iTunes, is it recommended I turn off syncing between iTunes and my iPhone for that podcast? Or will this question basically go away when iOS 6.0 is released?
Do the Podcasts app and the Music/iPod app share podcast files? Or will they be duplicated on my iPhone?

The podcasts will duplicate themselves on your device. I turned off podcast syncing on my devices. But the weird thing is that when I sync, podcasts then copy themselves to my iTunes library. Either sync or don't, but don't copy to both.

Keep all unplayed episodes - bug?

Hi everybody!
My iPod/iTunes7 is killing me. I have selected "Keep: All unplayed episodes" in the iTunes podcast options because I want iTunes to automatically delete all podcasts that I have listened to on my iPod.
If I manually mark a podcast as "played" in iTunes7 it does what I want; deletes that podcast from my iPod.
But it doesn't work the other way. If I listen to a podcast on my iPod (and the podcast is marked as played on the iPod), the podcast is reset to unplayed on both the ipod and in iTunes on first sync.
This is annoying!
Please advice!
I've tried restoring my iPod, and I've also installed the latest iPod-update.

* Four weeks ago my Apple headphones stopped working
* Three weeks ago my I bought the new Apple headphones which were designed to not stay in my ears
* Two weeks ago because my new (old headphones) that hang around the neck had not arrived I fumbled my I-Pod, dropped it and it stopped working.
* Last week I got my new replacement I-pod which I bought (two sets of headphones -- only ordered one).
* This morning my I-pod locks up, had to go to Google to finally solve the problem.
* For the past couple days I have been relistening to podcasts because of this silly ignoring my request to only keep unplayed episodes problem.
* Today when I looked for E-mail tech support it was hidden or unavailble.

"Keep: all unplayed episodes" doesn't work all the time ???

I subscribe to a couple of podcasts. I have my settings set to "Keep: all unplayed episodes". This setting works just fine on 90% of my podcasts, but on two, the only way for podcasts I've of which I've listed to disapper is if I delete them manually. Does anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it? I've tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, but that doesn't do the trick.
Thanks,
Tim

Tim,

Syncing all unplayed episodes

Hi
Does anyone have this happening.
You have iTunes set up to sync all unplayed episodes of podcasts but this doesnt seem to work with the video podcasts, I have to also listen to them to get them removed from the sync as well as view them.
Is there a way round this without using smart folders.
Thanks
Chris

Same problem, checked "Sync Unplayed" and the video podcasts are still left on iPod after being viewed. But good to know that if you play them as music helps

HT1689 My podcast app started playing all unplayed episodes at slightly slower speed with everything doubled. How do I return it to normal play?

When you're listening to a podcast, slide the current artwork up from the bottom, and you will reveal the control panel. Adjust the little switch in the middle so that it is pointing North, instead of Northwest. That will fix your problem.

Sort order on TV Show episodes

Help!
I am trying to figure out how to make iPad sort episodes by episode number rather than strictly by alphabetical order.
I bought the original Wifi Ipad on Apr 3. Transferred all my episodes (which are all coded correctly with Season and Ep #) and when I would select "24", they would all list out by episode # rather than sorted by title. Same with 5 other TV series.
I returned my Wifi and now own a iPad 3G and put everything back on it, but no matter what I try, everything is sorted by title, which makes watching TV shows in order completely useless.
I know some will say "just add a 1- in front of the title." You shouldn't have to do that.
Anyone know the trick to get iPad to sort by Ep#?
thanks!

I was having the same issue and frustration. After doing some experimenting, I figured out something that is working for me at least. The video player on the iPad appears to be sorting in the order episodes were downloaded. I had an entire season of shows (23 in all) that I downloaded all at once in iTunes from my purchase history. When I hit the download all icon in the season header, I noticed that iTunes queued the episodes up in alphabetical order. They were also sorted this way once I synced them onto my iPad. I then wiped the season from both the iPad and iTunes and downloaded shows again, this time individually in ordery by episode. When i synced this time to the iPad the episodes were in the correct order.
So, for me at least the iPad appears to be listing shows in whatever order they were downloaded. I hope this helps anyone else experiencing this issue.

2.1 sort order on 'all projects'

I really like the 'all projects' view, it looks like iPhoto 'events' view, which was sorted, as it should be, in alphabetical order. I love Aperture, however I've been waiting for an alphabetical sort to the 'all projects' view so that I can get rid of (or rather stop using) iPhoto. They seem to have added sort with what seems to only have two options, by date, which is horrible if, like me you have downloaded pictures or old digital photos that contain wonky incorrect information from the wild west days of digital photography.
Any ideas on how to get things to display in 'all projects' like they do in iPhoto 'events'??
BTW, my projects are all titled in the way they should display. events that I want by date are titled as such, other pictures are grouped in projects such as 'Shorty' (my dog).

Sorry Grom, no, there is no UI for the kind of sort you are seeking.

How to set default sort order for all folders/albums/etc

This is driving me nuts, having to change the sort order from manual to file name every time I change projects or folders (and I have a lot of both). Is there a way to set the default to just sort by file name ascending? Or sort by timestamp (that's date + time, not just date)?

I am in process of doing some rearrangement to make Projects as the main box (the file drawer) with headings like: iPhone, Assignments, Events, Landscape, People, Travel. Then, a specific folder under the project. Then, an Album under the Folder.
This should be started as a new thread -- do so if you have any questions.
Strongly recommend using Projects as intended (see comments by Frank and DLSCreative in current thread ^1^ and long comment by me in another thread ^2^ ). In your case that would mean Folders with the headings you've selected, the (most likely) Projects, then Albums (and perhaps more Folders).

Where is Download All for all unplayed episodes in podcast?

After subscribing new podcast, is there anyway to download all episodes for me to go thur them offline without Internet access?
Autodownload is on, all episodes are unplayed, and "Episodes to keep" is set to "All episodes".
Anyone knows where the most basic function in the world "Download all" is? Or it's hiding somewhere I missed?

Can we guarantee that the stored procedure returns results in given order?
Normally it says when we insert these select query to temporary table we can't guarantee its inserting order. So we have to use order by clause. But most of time it gives same order. Can we enforce to give it some different order? Is this related with clustered
and non clustered indices.
In second case can we enforce inserting order by adding Identity column?
Explain more on behind logic as well. I'm checking whether I need to add ORDER BY in old Stored Procedures or not.

Unchecking "Sync all unplayed episodes of... podcasts" DELETES THEM ALL?

From iTunes 7.4 to 7.5, Apple has made a horrible thing even worse. Previously, if you left "Sync podcasts" checked on your home computer and plugged your iPod into your work computer, all your podcasts would be deleted because the iPod would turn on the work computer's auto-syncing on, and there were zero podcasts on the work computer. The only workaround for this was to uncheck "Sync podcasts" on your home computer immediately after syncing all your podcasts.
Well, they decided this wasn't stupid enough, so now, in 7.5, unchecking "Sync podcasts" on your home computer IMMEDIATELY DELETES the podcasts from the iPod. There is now no way whatsoever to keep podcasts on your iPod if you regularly connect your iPod to two Macs, short of downloading each and every podcast to BOTH computers.
If I'm missing something, please let me know. 'Til then, I'll be downgrading to 7.1.1.

It looks like this issue was fixed with the iPod 1.2.3 software update. Unchecking "Sync Podcasts" still deletes the podcasts from the iPod, but there's no longer any need to uncheck it, since other copies of iTunes (like the one at the office) no longer turn on "Sync Podcasts" automatically.

Update all views sort order in a list using powershell

I have a column "Employee Name" in my Lists/Library of my sitecollection ,
I need to update Sort order of all views of that lists and library to be sort alphabetically by "Employee Name" .
I have already some filters applied on these views.I dont want these to get effected.I want to change only the sort order to be based on "Employee Name" column.
Any pointers on how to achieve this by Powershell will be helpful

Hi,
The following PowerShell script for your reference:
$webURL = "http://siteurl";
$listName = "ListName";
$web = Get-SPWeb $webURL;
$list = $web.Lists[$listName];
$views= $list.Views;
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $views.Count; $i++)
$view=$views[$i];
$view.Query = '<OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Employee_x0020_Name"/></OrderBy>';
$view.Update();
$list.Update();

Unplayed Episodes/Stations- how to choose to begin playing oldest unplayed episode?

The release notes say this is an option but I can't figure out how. (The only options in settings are "my podcast" order, most recent and manual- but I don't see any way to manually adjust the order, either.)
Also, apparently there is no way to get a list of unplayed episodes by episode? The "unplayed" station groups them by podcast- but I don't want to listen to all unplayed episodes of a single podcast in a row.

seconded...
they seem to have thrown out most of the stuff they fixed after we complained about it with the first version.
my app is also showing "unplayed" undownloaded eps... I'm not setup to subscribe and download on my ipod it is network off most of the time anyway. I have itunes checking through the day so I can get my stack of new shows when I sync after work.

Unplayed episodes oldest first not working?

With 2.0, I seem to have lost the ability to listen to podcasts in My Stations from oldest to newest; I can't even list them oldest first, they all show up newest on top and are played from newest to oldest, which is not what I want.
Any idea how I can listen to all unplayed episodes from oldest to newest (grouped by podcast)?

That's not exactly what we're looking for. We want the playlist (or station) to be in the "My Podcasts" order (sets the order that the podcasts play in), but play each podcast's episodes oldest to newest order.
For example you have 3 podcasts: 2 daily news podcasts and 1 weekly podcast that you don't always get around to every week, but want to listen to all of the episodes eventually. Let's also say that you weren't able to listen to yesterday's news, but want to catch up today.
Each morning, you want to listen to your podcasts in the following order:
First you want to listen to the daily news podcasts oldest to newest to catch up on the news. You want to listen to the news first, even if there are older episodes of the weekly podcast that you haven't gotten to yet.This is why the playlist (or station) needs to be in the same order as "My Podcasts"
Then, once you've listened to all of the more time-sensitive news podcasts for the day, you want to catch up on the weekly podcast, but again want to listen to it starting with the oldest episodes first to catch up.
Hopefully this helps and someone at Apple will see it.

ITunes U Sort Order Issue

I purchase a lot of audio courses from a company called the Teaching Company. I buy and download them as MP3's and they've worked great on all my iPods (I have a nano, a classic, and a touch 64GB). I previously kept all of the course lectures in my Audiobook section to keep them separate from my music and podcasts and other media. This was fine until I decided to purchase an Audible account and began to build up a large library of audiobooks as well. When I got my brand new 64GB iPod Touch and the new iTunes, I saw that iTunes U was now a separate entity within my library. So, for organizational purposes and to allow me to better fine-tuning of my sync preferences (I much more media than could ever fit on any of my iPods at one time), I moved all my educational and lecture media out of my Audiobooks area and into iTunes U by editing the tags through "get info".
This has worked just fine except for one mysterious problem.
When I view any of these audio courses (each course is an album) in iTunes, they display fine in normal sort order by track number. But when I go to listen to them on my iPod, the sort order is all jumbled up and all the tracks are out of order. So I cannot listen to the classes from one lecture to another, at the end of each lecture I must exit back to the album and FIND the next lecture. They appear to be sorted in no obvious order (not alphabetical, not by name, not by track number). Again, they are set to sort by track number in iTunes and they display (and play) perfectly straight through in iTunes. But on my iPod, the sort order is completely messed up.
So, what's going on? Why? And how can I fix it??

Set your track numbers correctly (by right clicking, clinking 'Get Info' and clicking on the info tab), and make sure you also set the totals (e.g. 12 of 18 - the "of 18" is what I mean by the totals). This sorted it out on my iPod.
This worked for me for my Teaching Company files. They were all jumbled previously because they took the track numbers from the default import from the internet. Once I changed it, no problem.
It would be better if Apple allowed just a dragging, or if there was a quick tool, but at least this works.
I had previously been using "Join Together" for stuff like this. I think I like this method better, though. I can still keep the individual lecture files on a playlist, but not have to worry about all the separate titles in a general listing.
