cover flow on ipod does not match cover flow in itunes

i have version 1.0.2 installed on my 80g ipod classic. on my ipod, the cover flow is fine, in alphabetical order and everything all the way through, except that after the end of the alphabet i have 52 other albums that are listed quite out of alphabetical order. it's very random, jumping from artists starting with d to p and back down to k and all over the place. i checked to see if those were compilations (thinking that cover flow for some reason may have put them at the end of my alphabetical list), and some of these 52 albums were part of compilations, but not all of them. in itunes, my cover flow is just fine, and does not have this strange order of albums at the right end. does anyone know what i can do to fix this on my ipod? or just know what's going on, even if it can't be fixed? it's just kinda annoying, cuz i'd like all my music in at least somewhat of an order (who wouldn't?)
