iPod won't play songs in order

The album tracks are listed in order but they won't play in that order. I'm pretty sure that they're not on shuffle, so what is causing this and how do I fix it? I have a new (as of last November) iPod Touch.

Hi there username which was chosen randomly,


It sounds like your iPod Touch will not play songs in an album in the correct order. I would first actually check the shuffle function to see if it is on or not. You might have to open the mini player depicted at the bottom here to see the playback controls.

If that is not the case then I would quit the Music app and the Settings apps:


Force an app to close in iOS

1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.


When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:

iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, let us know how it goes!
