iTunes keeps changing my podcast order to manual

I sync podcasts to my iPod Nano with iTunes. I always have the podcast sort order set to "Newest to Oldest" in iTunes.

iTunes periodically changes the sort order to Manual. This has been happening for a while, but has become more frequent. It's annoying.

How can I keep the sort order as I want it?

Problem with Ordering of Smart Playlists on iPhone 12 Hi. Regardless of the order in which I arrange tracks in the smart playlists on my iMac, they ALWAYS appear on my iPhone in reverse alphabetical order of artiste/group. I've tried using Copy to Play Order and adding new Edit Rules such as "Media kind is Music", but I haven't found anything that works, i.e that ensures that the iPhone playlists follow the order of the lists on the iMac. If anyone's got a solution, I'd love to hear it!

Apple Podcast Listen Now not syncing since updating to iOS 16 I updated to iOS 16 on my phone and now Apple Podcast Listen Now is not syncing correctly to show all new episodes. It is only syncing 2 of 10 daily shows. I have tried unfollowing and re-following, that didn't help. I have tried changing my settings. That didn't help. I have it set to hid all played episodes, so now I am resorting to going through and opening each show in my library to see if there is a new episode so that I can listen to it. This is a pain in my rear. It works correctly on my laptop, so it is clearly the phone update that is the issue. Anyone else experiencing this?
