When I sort by artist, the list is out of order

I just started importing my music into Itunes one artist at a time. Everything was going good when I put in my artists that have numbers at the beginning of their name. But when I started with my Artist whose name's begin with A, they are placed above the number artists. Is this how Itunes is or how can I correct this? When I have used other programs artists with names that have numbers in them were always at the top. Here is a picture to help further understand my problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

iTunes drops leading articles ("a", "an", "the" or local equivalents) so "The Beatles" gets sorted as "Beatles". It also places non-alpha characters last instead of first. Numerics are sorted alphabetically not by numeric value. This means numbers are not sorted in ascentding order. e.g. 1,112,25,200,3,4. I haven't checked exhaustively but it looks like leading symbols are now ignored so you can't use the old trick of adding a "!" at the beginning to force something to the top of the list.
You can tweak the order of things by adjusting the sort fields, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist, etc. To make 112 appear first you could give them a Sort Album Artist of, for example, "AAA 112". To sort numeric items in value order you need to edit each one and create a sort value with an appropriate number of leading zeros. Currently I use 4 digits for Sort Artist & Sort Album Artist, 6 digits for Sort Album and don't bother to adjust Sort Name.

Try force-closing the Reminders app and reset your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Reminders, swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it, tap the home button again. Then hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release and wait for it to restart. Then check your reminders again.

How to get the list of all process order which are settled?

Hello Friends,
Is there any standard report available to get the list of all settled Process Order or Production order?
Thanking all of you in advance.
Regards,
Jitendra

Hi,
You can the below standardreports for knowing the list of Settled Process Orders :
1. Use Tcode : COOIS and in the selection fields provide the Process Order Type, Plant and System Status As " SETT" and execute the same . System will list all the Process Orders which were settled so far.
2. Use Tcode : CO26 with selection fields as above.
Hope this will suffice your reqt.

When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure but I think you create your play order manually then select the playlist, right click it (or use ctrl+click) & select "Copy to play order".
I think when you burn that playlist it should obey that order, it has been so long since I made a mix CD that I'm not certain, good luck.

Canon Pixma 922 - when I copy a document the pages come out blank.

When I copy a document the pages came out blank.
Also, when I print an MS-Word document, the pages come out blank, however, if I print an HTML document from a website, the printer prints fine.

Hi dstei33162,
Since HTML documents are printing correctly, it is possible that the large black ink tank in the unit may be clogged. You can print a nozzle check pattern from the printer to see if the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly. To do this, please follow the steps located here. Once it is printed, please examine it and compare it to a correctly print pattern here. If all of the colors are not appearing, including the black grid at the top above the colors, performing print head cleanings on the unit may resolve the issue. To perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here. We recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings.
Should you still experience difficulty, the printer may require servicing; please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Hello tallcool1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that your Officejet printer and Email are not working together to produce a proper print, the font seems to be much smaller. Please answer the below question to allow me better ability to assist you.
What model of printer is your Officejet?
What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?
What is the Email you are trying to print from, MSN, Gmail, Yahoo, etc?
Will the small font issue happen from other programs, Notepad for example?
Cheers,
JERENDS

All the songs are out of order on my albums. Does anyone know why?

On almost every album on my iPad the songs are out of order. Yesterday I deleted 6 of the albums, synced to iTunes and reinstalled them. When I opened them on the iPad they were in the correct order. I closed the iPad and ran an errand, came back and open the iPad again only to see all the songs once again out of order. I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't have this problem on my iPhone or either of my iPods, only on the iPad. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Have you tried creating a playlist for your album, then
select the playlist in iTunes.
right-click the playlist name -> select +copy to play order+. -> sync.

My Audio Books are in my playlist and the chapters are all correctly arranged in my I tunes. I watched it sync to my nano but after it was all done... A few of the chapters were out of order in the nano.

None of my music shows up on my iPod when I sort by 'Artist' but it shows up everywhere else, what's going on?

I have a new-to-me iPod touch from a friend, great condition never had any problems with it. I restored it so I could load my own stuff on it, and all the music I loaded onto it shows up when I sort by 'Album' or 'Songs' but when I click the 'Artist' tab nothing shows up. What could be going on?

Is it possible to sort reminders in the list view?

The reminders, when entered with my iPhone, show up ordered by when I entered them. Is there a way to sort them by the due date? Is this something that will be added later on?

ICal Reminders won't sort on the actual device it was intended for - the Iphone
I just talked to Apple Express service over this problem. I went to the trouble of transferring my to-do list onto icloud Reminders - where each item asked for a priority ranking and where you are then given options for how to sort all the Reminders you entered - so that it can actually be useable as any Calendar/time management system would be. I chose "by priority" of course, but you can also choose alphabetically, etc. It must be said, at least to Apple, apparently, that the point of doing all this is so that the Reminders are available on your actual device - my iphone. The Reminders all synced immediately to the Iphone. However, the Reminders list is an unsorted jumble on my iphone. Even when I tap out a Reminder on my iphone itself and choose a priority, the item remains at the bottom of the list as the last thing I typed in. Apple Express Support "explains" that the priority ranking and the sorting choices are "not supported" on the device you want to use them on - the iphone. They offered me "an article" that explains this in detail. In other words, engaging with the Reminder function and choosing priorities and choosing sort orders is all just a cruel joke wasting your time. I would have been better off just printing off my Reminders list on paper and circling the high priority items in red ink. Oh - but you can't print it out either.
Unbelieveable. Apple's ICal Reminder function actually and actively leads you to engage with completing details and choices that don't even function, or in other words - aren't "supported" on the Apple device they are stated to be designed for. Is there a device on which this function is actually supported? "Not at this time"
The only way to have your to-do list sorted on the iphone is to assign a calendar date for each one of them and then they only appear on that specific date. You would not be able to view your whole list in anything other than the order you happened to enter the items. No calendar/time management system I know of makes you put a date on every item in a task list - some tasks have a due date, but most don't. And every calendar/time management system allows you to sort your list, or view your list in a sorted order. And print it out also.
Apple advertises this Icloud Ical/Reminders system as a time managment tool and fails to tell us that vital functions don't even work on your iphone.

When sorting library as "Album by Artist," an album is out of order

This is really insignificant, I know, but it's bizarre, and I can't figure out why it's happening.
On one specific album, out of 1370, when I sort my library as Album by Artist or Album by Year, a single track is out of order. It is track 12, but appears at the end, after track 14. No matter what I put as the track number for that track, it will always be placed at the end of the album. It is not labeled as a different disc, album, or album artist, or as part of a compilation, nothing is misprinted, and near as I can tell, the track's info is completely consistent with the rest of the album. I even deleted all the track info for the whole album and manually filled it back in, and it still appears out of order. The tracks DO appear in the correct order when I only sort by album.
What exactly is going on here? Is this some sort of bug, or is there some data in the track I haven't thought of that will always cause it to appear at the end of the album when sorting as I do?
Message was edited by: Rollersnake

OK, putting something in the Album Artist field for the album fixed it.
Near as I can tell, the track info for the album was inconsistent when I downloaded it, and though I deleted the "album artist" field for the whole album, more than once even, it somehow still registered as being different for that one track. Now when I delete the field for the whole album, it stays in order regardless of sorting method.

Album does not come up when I click on Artist, just list of songs

I just installed the new update on my nano. When I am browsing the music on my nano and I select an artist name, ti doesn't go to a screen listing the album name, but straight to a list of songs. if the artist has more than one album, however, it does list the album names, and then clicking on the album takes me to a list of the songs contained therein.
Is this new? is there a way to change it so it lists the album name even if there is only one album by the artist?

ti doesn't go to a screen listing the
album name, but straight to a list of songs.
What?
For example, I only have one album (Ships) by Danielson in my ipod and it does this:
Music>Artists>Danielson>"List of Songs contained in the album Ships"
I have more than one album (Blueberry Boat and Gallowsbird's Bark) by the Fiery Furnaces in my ipod and it does this:
Music>Artists>The Fiery Furnaces>"List of albums">"List of songs contained in whichever album I select"

I have created a Mail List (25 adds) and it works fine, when I open Thunderbird later the list is gone and I have to create a new one. How do I save lists?

I have been trying to work out how to use email address lists in the past few months.
I recently managed to import all my contacts from Windows Mail on the old PC. They are now in "Address Book", there were a few in "Personal Address Book" but most were in collected Addresses.
When I went into collected addresses and clicked New List it allowed me to create a list of the 25 or so emails required. Then I could send out the email.
The next day I opened Thunderbird to send another email to the same list and it had disappeared.
I have since surmised that you cannot save a list created from Collected addresses in your Personal Address book unless the addresses in the list are in your Personal Address Book.
I will try again now I have completed the import and see if that helps.
Any other ideas would be most welcome.

You really should keep your contacts in your Personal Address Book.
You can drag and drop contacts between address books.
When sending a message, and the recipient isn't in your address book yet, Thunderbird automatically adds the recipients email address to Collected Addresses. You can turn that off though.
