Q: Playlist Only Plays In Alphabetical Order On Shuffle
Here is what I'm doing:
1) Plug in Shuffle
2) Under "Devices," I click on "Music.
3) Under "Edit" at the top, I click on "Select All." This highlights my playlist currently on the Shuffle.
4) Click on "Delete" and the music disappears
5) Right click on the name of the playlist under "Music" under "Devices." Click "Delete." The shuffle is now completely clean
6) Pick new playlist to upload to shuffle in left column and right click on it. Then, click on "Copy to Play Order."
7) Drag playlist over "music" under "devices" and drop
8) Window at the top shows my new playlist songs downloading in the order I want to hear them
After I complete the above process, I safely remove the Shuffle from my computer. When I go to listen to the playlist, the songs only play in alphabetical order. No matter what I try, I cannot get the songs to play in the order I want to hear them.
Can anyone help me with specific step by step directions that will help me fix/solve this problem?
Thank you!

Hi Rosey
I was having exactly the same trouble as you. Even though I was using Copy TO Play Order, and they were being synced in the order I had them listed, they would just go onto the iPod Shuffle in whatever order Music was sorted as (i.e. artist or album). Even though on the playlists under Devices they were in the right order when you clicked on Music under Devices, they could not be sorted by song order number. there was no column of numbers for some reason?
So I just restored my iPod settings, and once it was re-started it worked perfectly first time and when I clicked on Music under Devices, that column of song order number had come back.
Also check that in your iPod Summary Screen, you have Manually Manage Music checked.
Hope this helps - i can't train without the music in the right order!
