Arranging TV shows in Episode order

Hey,

I've ripped a few dvd's to itunes using a file converter and all is working well. In itunes they appear in episode order and also categorised by series. I have tagged the episode numbers but when synced to ipod they appear in reverse alphabetical order. is there a way you can arrange them in episode order?? its probably easy but 'm stumped

Thanks!

If you only have 1 season of episodes of the same show, they are arranged (top to bottom on the ipod) from oldest to newest. Once you add a second season (as few as one episode), they then arrange (top to bottom on the ipod) from newest to oldest. For some reason, when you only have one season of a show, it shows "X episodes" in the menu before you choose the show, but when you have 2 or more seasons, it shows "X seasons" in the menu before you choose the show, then allows you to choose which season, then which show (arranged newest to oldest, top to bottom)... Hope this helps.

try right clicking on an individual episode, then click on Get Info, click on the video tab, then type in the info of that episode, i.e. Episode Number: 32 or 23,do the same with the other episodes. it should put the shows in episode order.

that doesn't seem to make a difference, you would think that be the obvious way. never mind, i just put #1 etc in the name field as this is the only way to get them in episode order.

thanks

I solved this by putting an Episode ID in each video (found on the video tab). I put 201 for the second season episode one, 202 for the second episode, and so forth. It seems to have worked.
