Cannot sort podcasts by date!

Hello,

I used to have an iPod mini, and when I would sync my podcasts, I could get them to sort so that the oldest were first and the newest were last.

NOW I have an iPod nano (3rd Gen), and for some reason the podcasts will NOT sync this way. My iPod will sort my podcasts from newest to oldest. This is very annoying because if I have a bunch of podcasts I wish to catch up on, this means I have to start at the bottom, and then I have to keep manually checking to make sure it goes onto the next podcast, rather than it automatically playing through as it would if the thing would sort the podcasts from old to new!

Is this an issue with iTunes, or just my iPod in general? Please help, as this is a very annoying issue. Thanks!

iPod nano (3rd Gen), Windows XP Pro

I have this same issue. I download 2 different daily podcasts and they should be listed

hour 1
hour 2
hour 3

but they are listed

hour 3
hour 2
hour 1

It is this way in both iTunes and my iPod Nano (4th I think)

In the older versions of iTunes they sorted correctly. This has only happened when iTunes went to v8.

This is very frustrating. Any ideas?
