What's the secret to alphabetical order?

Question

I have setup playlists for the iPod via iTunes and transfered videos from my hard drive into those playlists. In iTunes the iPod playlists videos show up as listed in alphabetical order, but on the iPod they are in the order they are transferred.
Q. How do I get the videos in alphabetical order on the iPod? Thanks

Answer 1

I FOUND THE SECRET. Many of us create playlists of
the songs we like in the order we like. However,
iTunes has already identified the songs by various
criteria (album, artist, year, etc.) which seems to
take precedence when loading onto an iPod--or, it
defaults to alphabetical order when there are various
songs of the same artist from different ablums for
example. SO...create your playlist in itunes of the
songs you want in the order you want. Then select
each song, one by one, hit command "i" (Get Info) and
you'll see all the embedded info right there. DELETE
all info except artist name and song name and enter
in your desired track numbers. So you'll delete the
ablum name, disc numbers, album year, producers,
etc., leaving only the artist, song and track numbers
you create in your playlist. I also hit "part of a
compilation" for good measure, but don't know if it
makes any difference. ANYWAY, now when you dump them
into your iPod they'll show up in the order you want.
NOTE: All that info for each song is still in you
main iTunes library.
Thank you Joe for your response. I've held off adding more tunes to iPod for weeks now because I've already got seven days (isn't that insane, seven days on a device the size of a cigarette pack!) and will have to backtrack on many albums (archaic but correct) to reorder them in chronological sequence. I will try your suggestion and pray for positive outcome.
