Sort the list by song Name? In iTunes 12, there is a horizontal bar that goes across the screen (near the top). Click the Music button near left end of bar. Near middle of bar, click either Playlists (shows sidebar along left side of window) or My Music (no sidebar). Near right end of bar, there is a "toggle" for choosing how to show the list; choose Songs.


Your iTunes music library list is shown as a simple list. In the header row of the list, click the heading for the Name column. That shows the list sorted by the Name column. Click it again, if you want to reverse the order.

The instructions previously provided are for sorting the main iTunes music library list by song Name. Syncing to an iPod was not part of the question. The main music library is NOT a playlist. If you want songs to play in a particular order on the iPod, you need to create a playlist in your iTunes library. Place songs on that playlist in the desired order (or sort it as desired). Then, sync that playlist to the iPod. If the iPod is set to play songs in order (not shuffled), and you play that particular playlist on the iPod, it will play in the order seen in iTunes for that playlist.


If you have specific question about how to do the above, please post back.
