TV Shows / Videos Display Order Bug?

I'm experiencing a bug where if I have one season of a show (say, V or Sarah Connor Chronicles) the iPad will ignore the season episode information and display all episodes in alphabetical order by title name. It completely ignores the original air date. Definitely a bug. Anyone else can chime in?

MacBook Unibody 2Ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.3), 2GB RAM, iPod Touch, mac mini G4 1.42Ghz, MacMini Intel 1.66Ghz

I have exactly the same problem here and it's rather annoying! I can't find any way to find out more details about each episode either, it would be nice to see the synopsis and so forth.

The iPad will displays videos or audio the way they appear in iTunes on your desktop computer.

Itunes on the desktop: Click on the menu bar below the cover flow art and add to the menu the item tag you want iTunes to short your stuff too. And then click on that menu item.... See if that works for you.

Thanks, no such luck here though, all the episode are in the right order in iTunes but are still sorted alphabetically on the iPad. It looks like a bug, the episode number and ID are all filled in.

Ok I got it now... I was talking about the way videos appear in a playlist in the iPod app.... In the video app the videos will be in alphabetical order. There's now way to change the way videos appear in the video app...sorry.

This is happening again. I had this issue when they updated to a previous version. It was fixed by adding track numbers to the episodes. Well I have the track numbers in and it did it again. Everything in alphabetical order. What's wrong now?
