Suddenly when listening to music in my library the tunes are playing in reverse order. It seems to be only on certain records. I tend to search for a specific artist and listen to only those songs. How do I make songs play in numerical order?

Thank you for the response. I have yet to find but will continue to look for what you directed. Giving an example of what I am encountering, I searched for all albums by Marilyn Manson. When playing the albums all seem to play correctly in how I have them sorted by album / year / descending. When listening to The Golden Age of Grotesque the song plays ( 15, 14, 13, etc.). When going to the next album, in date order, HolyWood begins to play but in reverse as well (19, 18, 17, etc.). Once HolyWood is finished it then moves to Mechanical Animals, as it should, but that album begins from the end and plays in reverse as well (14, 13, 12, etc.). The entire catalog is playing in this fashion.

When changing from descending to ascending all that is accomplished is the albums then sort from oldest to newest. There is no affect on the songs playing in reverse.

Main library; I have been using iTunes for some time and never had issue. I have sorted by artist / album by year / descending for quite some time with no issue with the songs playing in reverse. It has just happened in the last two or three days. I have since changed as you directed from descending to ascending but the song are still playing in reverse. I want to thank you for taking time to respond. Anything you offer will be attempted to say the least.

All is good in the world. I am not too sure where I have been the last several years but it seems that I....have....not....been listening in year order and the songs play in order. Thank you again turingtest for the discussion!! 🙂
