I can't figure our how to turn off the shuffle in my iPhone's iTunes! Help?

Jets fan 1457,
Actually.. Not helpful. I accidentally pressed the helpful button. We are talking about iPhones here, and the timeline you reference is not on my 6s. I pressed the space you indicated but the song that played next and in the 'up next' list are still shuffled.
Truthfully. I've looked for a solution to this before, and came away with: it can't be done, fuhgettaboutit, which is frustrating when an album (like Hamilton) really begs to be played sequentially.
I do wish apple would fix this. In my opinion it is a serious flaw.
Thanks for the advice on how to turn off shuffle, it was driving me crazy. Sanity restored now I can just enjoy my music in the right order.
Being able to disable the shuffle icon would be very beneficial to me. I use an iMac to play split tracks for my church choir. Each song can have up to a dozen tracks and it is very embarassing when the tracks get shuffled and play in random order. On my iMac the shuffle icon is light blue. When shuffle is engaged there is a light grey box surrounding the blue icon. It is a very subtle difference and it can easily go unnoticed. I wish the shuffle feature could be completly disengaged. I like the feature on my personal computer and use it often. But, for my church computer I need it to go away.

Despite its title, this thread is actually about the Music app on the iPhone, not iTunes (the computer program).
But for PC or Mac, if there is no song playing you won't see the criss-cross arrows at the top of the screen, but you can always go to Controls/ Shuffle to see Shuffle's current setting, as well as change the shuffle mode (i.e. shuffle by song, album, or grouping). If a song is playing or paused, well then Shuffle is quite clearly indicated at the top of iTunes.
sorry to be so delinquent. Why turn it off? Because I listen to operas and audio books and it is not convenient to have those things shuffled.
No one here is questioning why someone would want shuffle mode turned off, and that's not what I was responding to.
Nancy,
Are you referring to computer use?
On phones, the shuffle can not be turned off. The only choice is 'repeat.'
