If you mean you have downloaded the items from an iTunes U Course or an iTunes U Collection to a PC or a Mac computer, you can click the Release Date to sort the downloaded content in ascending or descending order in iTunes.
If you do not see Release Date in the iTunes column headings, do these:
- Click iTunes U in LIBRARY (upper left hand corner of the software iTunes.
- In View menu, choose Show View Options...
- Check Release Date if the box is not checked.
- Close the Show View Options window.
Now the Release Date column should be in your iTunes. You might need to scroll all way to the right of the screen to display it. You can drag the heading to the left to move it to an easier view location if you want.
See if the two screen captures below will help you more.
If you use an iPad or iPhone, the orders are fixed according to the setting the course/collection owner selected.
In an iTunes U Course, the podcasts (video, audio, PDF, etc.) are displayed in the order of their attached Posts positions: the podcast in the first post is displayed first, the podcast in the last post is shown last.
In an iTunes U Collection, however, the owner has three settings to choose: the earliest first, the latest first, or manual. So whatever the order the owner chose in iTunes collection in the SITE Manager, that is the order shown on an iOS device. I do not think you can change them.
Best.

Thanks for your response. However, when I am my iTunes folder and go to View Options this happens:
As you can see in this particular collection, they all have the same release date, however, I am still unable to order them numerically.
Thanks

Please see the screen capture. Is it what you want to accomplish?
If so, you need to use the Playlist feature to do it. Here are the steps in case you need them.
- Download all the episodes in the collection.
- Select all of the downloaded episodes.
- In File menu, select New - Playlist from Selection.
- A new playlist now appears in PLAYLISTS in your Library. You may need to click Show next to PLAYLISTS.
- You can rename the Playlist by clicking the Playlist name twice.
- You can then reorder the episodes by Name, by Size, etc. Just click the column heading: Name, Size, etc.
There are other ways to create a playlist. But I find this takes fewer steps.
Hope this helps.
Best.
