organising audiobooks on iPod Classic

Is there any way I can organise my audiobooks on my iPod Classic now that my OS is Catalina? The audiobooks just seem to be arranged in alphabetical order.

Can I create playlists as I used to in iTunes?

If I get an iPod touch am I going to have the same issue?

I hope someone can help me without being too technical.

Managing Playlists on iPod Nano with Music app Hi Folks, I'm new to Catalina and like the rest of you on this thread, VERY disappointed with what they've done with iTunes. I figured out how to add a Playlist (create one in Music then drag and drop to the iPod) but no way to manage the ones already there. Have you figured out anything new recently? I'm not considering downgrading to Mojave but definitely looking for a new iPod management app, and/or just using iTunes on my Windows 10 computer. Other ideas are welcome! Steve PS The Catalina Podcast app is also a pain in the ;:&#&'!""¥ I'm interested in getting a new one of those, too.

iPod Classic sort in Big Sur I just upgraded to Big Sur OS from Mojave. How do I sync my iPod so that the playlist I want to use is sorted by artist?

Cannot see my audiobooks on both computers When I sign into iTunes on one computer, I can see all the audiobooks I have downloaded from my local library. But when I sign into iTunes on a different computer, I do not see the downloaded audiobooks which I have backed up to the Apple cloud. And, when I use my iPad, I cannot see these books. The only two places I can see the audiobooks is the iPod and in iTunes on one of the computers. I have tried filesharing, but the book app does not show up on my list. The book app does show up on the iPad, but not the audiobooks from the library. I back up the iPod to the Apple cloud also. Questions -- How do I get to see all the downloaded audiobooks from the library on all my devices, especially the second computer? Thank you to all who answer with a solution to my issue.

Unfortunately there is no support for playlists or editing metadata in Books. See Organizing audiobook chapters - Apple Community. You need to fix the sort name fields in Music, then import the tracks into Books and you should find they work correctly when copied to the classic through Finder.
