iPhone songs not in alphabetical order

I just got an iPhone 4s (iOS 5.01) and this is the first music sync I made with it. When I checked my iPhone music app, the songs came out of order as seen in the screenshots attached. Why are they out of order? I tried turning off my phone, switching the "group by album artist" setting on and off, and I tried resycning so many times. I'm very frustrated with this and I'm about to put a whole through my computer.

As you can see, the songs don't go in the right letter category. It's only for the songs I recently added, in the screenshots they are "Face Down" "Birds Flying High" and "How Come." As in, how come this doesn't work? Thanks for the help.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

Iphones do not have the ability to put lists in alphabetical order. They allow you to put things in whatever order you want MANUALLY only.

I figured it out by trial and error. Go to your playlist, tap Edit. A "-" will appear next to each song. Tap and hold the the song for a few seconds, over the 3 stacked lines on the right. Then you can drag and drop the song in any order you wish.

Had the same problem and after searching the web with no results I found the solution by toying with my library. Go to the song right click and select get info. Go to the sorting Tab and under the name bar is another bar that says "sort as" just clear out that bar and any of the other bars that has something in it. Let me know if I'm clear enough and if it worked!
