It the new verson of iTunes the culprit or is it the Apple TV?

The sorting on my TV shows is crazy

Itunes

Having the same issue. It's extremely frustrating, and disappointing after spending the time and money preparing a MacMini to serve as the new AppleTV media server (having enjoyed the first gen AppleTV that could hold the media). I am surprised actually that Apple would make such a big deal out of launching the new AppleTV wihtout first checking to make sure it worked, and then not fixing the issue immediately once it was known. My out of the box experience has been one of frustration rather than the usual awe and glee assocaited with getting new Apple product.

iTunes update 10.6.1 out today now fixes, kinda, the problem:

- Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

TV shows in the initial menu now list in proper albhabetical order again (Alcatraz to Zorro and then 21 Jump street etc. However, when you go into a show, all episode titles are in reverse alphabetical order (eg, starting with Zorro's Escape and going to Another Zorro Adventure). A bit weird.

Well, this is the company that thinks that numbers are supposed to go after the letters instead of before (like the rest of the world). Maybe we need to send Apple a copy of : http://www.amazon.com/Basic-English-Revisited-Student-Handbook/dp/0939045761/ref =sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333040217&sr=8-1-spell
