Playlists won't sync properly on iphone

Hi,

Recently, I have been having problems getting my iPhone 4 to keep the order of my playlists from iTunes.

I usually order my music by ratings (highest to lowest) or date added. Anyways, when I sync my iPhone to iTunes all the playlists are shown in the correct order (in iTunes) but not on the iPhone. Generally the iPhone orders my music in alphabetic order or the complete opposite of my highest to lowest ratings (lowest rating first and highest rating last). This only effects my iPhone as my iPod nano will sync correctly.

I have tried smart playlists, using "copy to order" and adding the music manually. My iPod and iTunes are up to date.

I'm looking for solutions to this problem and I would appreciate any suggestions!!
