How can I set a particular song order in my library?

Some files of songs get loaded/imported into my library in alphabetical order versus the order of the actual setlist.

How can I determine or create the order of my songs of a particular music file and not have them imported by alphabetical order?

They usually get imported by track number.
You can change things around by adding Edit > View Options columns.

Also you can just drag things around in a normal (non-smart) playlist.

Thanks so much for the response. Most of music does get loaded by track number, but some (even when they have #'s assigned to them) seem to have a mind of their own and pick up the the alpha. order??

If I create a "non-smart" playlist, will I still need to have a seperate "playlist" for that particluar albumn or show?

Yeah, I don't know why some songs get picked up in different orders. Like when I drag an emusic album folder into iTunes, it's all out of order.

If it really bugs me I drag it in reverse track order so "Date Added" will show things in the correct track # sequence.

To listen to a complete album, I just have a regular playlist called "now playing". I drag the album in there and sort by track number.

Then when I want a different album I clear the old one out and drag the new one in.

SOmebody else probably has a better idea but that's what I do.
