iTunes 12 plays podcasts in the wrong order

iTunes 11 & 12: no matter what setting you use in the Podcast settings, they are played back newest to oldest. While this issues has been addressed (and not resolved) for iOS, and iPods, I can't find anything about how to fix it on a Mac (10.7.5).

Please do not say "update". I can't.

I would have thought that the problem that first appeared in iTunes 11 would be fixed in later version, but it has not.

I have tried both settings, and it always plays newest to oldest.

While a playlist or smart playlist is a work around, it should not be necessary. If the option exists in the settings, IT SHOULD WORK.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

In itunes 12, when you are in the podcast -> unplayed view, hit cmd+j, then choose ascending sorting order and voila, the podcasts are sorted from oldest to newest and are also played in that order
