Right-click on the playlist name in the left hand side bar and select Copy to Play Order from the context menu. Sort the list on the left most column of numbers or use View > Sort By > Playlist Order. Sync device.

So, for PODCASTs smart playlists on device, I need SONGs view, sort, use several other counterintuitive right/left clicks...in iTunes and then sync the device.

Jun 2, 2016 12:29 PM in response to Squawkbertby turingtest2,As far as I'm aware iTunes has always maintained a separate Play Order for each playlist. Depending on how things get added to the list over time that may or may not be the order that you see in iTunes since you can sort on other column headings without affecting the play order. When the two don't match you see one order in iTunes and a different one on the device.
