The ipod puts items in the order that they were loaded, not otherwise. If you want items in some other order, then 1) create a new playlist for the items to move to (at least temporarily) 2) go to the playlist where the items currently reside and put them into the order you want them (e.g. sorted alphabetically) 3) select all of the items wanted from the sorted list and drag them to the new playlist 4) remove the old items from the original playlist. The Ipod will now play the items in the order you specified. Re: changing the order of podcast episodes – it CAN be done. The ipod puts items in the order that they were loaded, not otherwise.

I cannot work out how I did it but I will let you know if i work it out again, Apple however should be able to tell us how to sort it... I cannot beleive it is so complicated to do what should be obvious, if you are playing music you dont want the bloody podcasts and vsv. Anyway dont give up yet, the answer is out there... somewhere I had this worked out once and got the podcasts and music seperated correctly but have since reformatted and reinstalled etc…

I love my iPod nano and I only really had podcasts on it. But then I got a 5.5g as a gift and am constantly annoyed by the clutter. This is a huge pet peeve for me.
