Wrong song order in iOS 11

I have iOS11.2.2 on my iPhone 8+ and I have the solution to the issue of songs downloading out of order on a pre-ordered album. Looking at the top right corner is three dots, click on that and then click Love. That will rearrange songs to proper order, then click love again to turn that off and now you're good to go.

This should be the number one result on this thread. Worked with no problems on my iPhone6S+. Thanks for the advice.

Hi, just read this thread. Fixed mine by ‘loving’ each track in turn (as ‘love’ sends each track to bottom of list), then unloved them again. Hope this helps

Hello there. This issue was really upsetting me as well. I did figure out a simple fix (not sure if its been mentioned yet or not). Why i did was i deleted the song on my playlist on my iphone. I then went back into itunes. Make sure the iphone shows in sync mode. Manually add the song while it is playing in itunes (press the 3 dots beside it) and add to DEVICE. It added as it is in the same playlist. This worked for me on songs. Its a pain to do it for a bunch though.

I found the easiest way to sort downloaded CD's is to put all in a Playlist. Generally each disc will be numbered in order, i.e., CD Name - track 1 - disc 7. Select all of the last CD and drag it to the top of the list. Then select the next to last CD and drag it above to the top. If you continue to do this by selecting all the CDs (in reverse order), you will end up with CD #1 at the top with all the others in order below it. Hope this helps someone.

Check this out: Won't play album songs in order? | MacRumors Forums, it helped me.

Thank you. After posting that, I ended up duplicating the folder of the album that was broken to a safe location, I deleted the album from iTunes, rebooted, copied the folder back, had iTunes add the folder back and it came back in the right order. Wish I'd read your solution sooner! Thank you though 🙂

Thank you! Loving the entire album worked for me as well! iPhone X on iOS 11.2.2

I have the same issue.

Both Pre-ordered and "Complete-My-Album" purchases end up doing this on iOS 11.1; iPhone-8.

Deleting the album from within the MUSIC app and re-downloading iTunes Store does NOT work for me.

I have also gone the SETTINGS/MUSIC/Downloaded Music/ARTIST-NAME and deleted from there and it too fails to resolve the issue when re-downloaded via iTunes Store app on the phone.

In fact I have noticed when re-downloading the whole album via the iTunes Store app, if you tap "Downloads" the order in which the downloads themselves are listed are also INCORRECT and identical to the incorrect order I originally was showing in the MUSIC app.

If anyone can help that would be great.

My problem is in iTunes itself, not on my device. Not only does it put tracks 1-13 under tracks 14-30, but when I play the album, it literally stops at track 13 as if it's the end of the album. How is it 2018 and iTunes is so awful? Even right now, consistent with the past 3 days, it just won't launch. I have to reboot before it'll launch if I open it and close it previously. Not good quality at all 😟

I'm glad I'm not the only one this is happening to. It still hasn't worked for me, deleting and re-uploading. This will teach me to never pre-order again. 😐
