How do I turn shuffle off on iPod touch?

Simple as that. I can't find it anywhere on my iPod Touch. It appears to be always in shuffle mode. I searched the discussions as most posts are from 2 to 6 years ago and describe a menu that is different from mine. Obviously the Shuffle button at the top of the playlist only shuffles, never unshuffles.

Thanx

No, it's not about 'shake to shuffle.' That's off. I just meant how to turn off shuffle on a playlist. I dug down through the forums and found the answer; you have to bring up the album art of the piece that's currently playing, then tap the screen, then the icons that control playlist order appear. If an icon is blue the function is on, if white it's off. Now that's not at all like the usual intuitive interface that the iPod is famous for. The control should be at the top of the playlist, not buried under individual tunes in my opinion. (I'm bringing this up because apparently lots of people ask this question on these forums.)
