Why can't I sort in iTunes 11 store?

I cannot understand why sorting was removed from the iTunes store. I'm looking for a particular song by a certain artist, and I searched on his name. I then want to sort the results alphabetically and find the exact version of the song I'm looking for. In another use case, when I'm exploring a new artist I want to buy their three most popular songs. Since sorting was removed, I'm buying less than I was before.
For the love of Pete, please put sorting back in.

Apple realized people like the freedom to organize search results and felt a loss of control. They axed it to regain a sense of control, and it's now a worse app. This is kind of their thing. See FCPX, Maps, now iTunes. They like to "fix" things that are working well for everyone by destroying those things. Their general response to inquiries about this thought pattern is a general "f you." Don't fight it. No point. They won't change.
I love how you presume to know the reason behind changes in iTunes 11. And it's nonsense to say Apple never changes in response to customer feedback or criticsm. It's in their DNA to try new things, and yes, sometimes to 'fix' things that didn't need fixing—but to say they never change in response to feedback is complete ingorance.
I would, as ChrisJ4203 said, encourage people to use Apple's feedback forms and complain about the removal of sorting from the store.

    Why can't I see my iTunes Store reviews?  Are the artists having reviews moderated?  It's been a week after writing a review on a few albums I purchased.  I can see the reviews I've left when I view the settings in my iTunes account.  The problem I'm having is that my vanity requires me knowing if people find my reviews to be helpful or useful - I actually put effort into some of my reviews.  It would be nice to see feedback on the more critical reviews rather than seeing nothing but cult-followers of various artists leaving carpet-bomb 5-star reviews.  It kinda diminishes the quality and legitimacy of iTune's recommendations as well as how they sort popular artists.

  • Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles??

    Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles (meaning these songs don't exist in Library but actually do)? I really don't want to scroll through 5,000 titles to remove these items.

    Hi mitzlet,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?

    I am trying to get my old library onto my new computer and the best way for me to do that is take them off of my I Phone 3gs and "transfer purchases" but when I try it the "authorize this computer " shows up and it is already authorized! So I still give my info, and it tells me this computer is already authorized and then does nothing. It keeps going on like that, it's a frustrating circle!

    Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?
    You can very easily.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTUnes folder from old computer to new computer.

  • Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option??

    Why can't Apple install an iTunes Visualizer option to the screen saver, instead of the iPhoto slideshow??  I don't always want pictures moving over the screen, and especially when I'm listening to the music channels. Having such a large format for the iTunes Visualizer would be . . . you know, cool.

    I totally agree and would love to see that option! I think the best way to tell Apple these things would be at http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html though.

    Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Well then it is somewhere on one of your Home pages or in a Folder:
    Do a spotlight search to see if it accidently got moved into a Folder: Swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the Spotlight search and type in iTunes. If it is in a folder, the folder name will show up to the right.
    If it is not in a folder, but shows up on the Spotlight search, then you need to look at each Home screen to see if you can find where it got moved to.
    Finally, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout, which will reorganize all of your icons so that the original Apple core apps are on the first Home screen as they were originally. Of course, if you have a lot of app icons that you have set up on specific Home screens you would have to move them all back to where you wanted them. But that should put the iTunes icon back on the first Home screen.
