Cover flow, album order wrong!

I have noticed that I am experiencing the same problem with my 3G Nano. I am pulling the songs in to the nano from my main library, not an existing playlist. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem. Some albums in the cover flow appear at the back. These are also missing fron the artist list if they are the only album you have of that artist. I bought 3 ipod nanos 3G for the family. My one is the only one to have this problem. Mine is also the only one to have an update through i-tunes. The problem only occurred after the update. I suspect that the upgrade has a bug!

on itunes get info on the songs that are going to the back... more then likely the information is not filled out correctly or the album name is on the incorrect line.... i use cover flow all the time with no issues..

Compilations seem to be at the end of the cover flow, for me. Also, "unknown album" for some songs without an album title. See if that is the problem.

The cover flow feature does not sort by album rather by artist. If you have let's say a soundtrack or an album with many different artists, when clicking compilation for each song, coverflow will put that album in the back usually under "various artists."

If you are getting multiple cover art in cover flow, highlight all those songs in the album, get info and type in the artist. Re-sync. Should do the trick.

HTH

I'm having the same problem - my ABBA album is near the back, but not at the end and is not listed in th artists!!! One album appears twice and others are too near the back as well. What can i do?

If an album appears twice then usually the info is not typed exactly the same as the previous..
Meaning if you have an extra space or if there is a missed capital on the title then the song will have its own artwork.. best thing to do is to copy the album name and artist from one then copy to the other that is on its own.
After that has been applied then all the songs will be under the one cover art album

I had this issue but managed to sort it...

Cover Flow was putting albums to the "back" of the list. All of the albums that were being put at the back were being classed by iTunes as compilations.

Even if the album is not in reality a compilation it will be listed as such by iTunes if it has any tracks with "artist 1 Feat. artist 2".
e.g.
Sting's album "Sacred Love" has a track with "Sting Feat. Mary J. Blige"
This meant iTunes classed the album as a compilation... (even if you change the artist details to remove the "Feat. artist" iTunes still classes it as a compilation... very frustrating!)

_To resolve the issue_

You will need to do this for each album individually (i.e. each album that is being sent to the back of the list) and it needs to be done in the main music library NOT in the playlists that you are syncing...

Highlight the album (all the tracks on that one album)
Go to "get info" (under "File" for any newbies :))
Select "NO" in the "compilations" box.

This should solve the problem 😀

I've placed my Five Finger Death Punch album on my iPod, but the songs are out of order. Song 4 and 9 are showing as 1 and 2 on the iPod, while on my iTunes it's all correct.

Any help?
