Videos appearing first in albums

Unlike iTunes where the videos show up after the songs in Albums, on the iPad (and iPhone) they show first which is a bit of a pain because if album is selected to play by Voice control, then the videos play and it is quite difficult to move through to the songs.
Any way of changing this?

On your pc select your music videos (1 by 1 or a select all) -> get info -> Options-> then check skip when shuffling.

Do that for all your videos, when you first add a video to itunes it normally has it checked.

Sorry, but I don't know what that has got to do with my question. It has nothing to do with shuffling.
Thanks anyway.

OK, I've sorted it.
When you 'get info' in iTunes on the videos, you'll see they don't form part of the total tracks on the album. For example, the last song might be Track '16' of '16', but the video will say Track '17' of ' '.
If you select all the tracks on the album and put (in this example) 17 in the 'of' box then the videos go to the end in the iPod app.
