Hi Kevin -

If I have songs ticked, the songs show up in alphabetical order which is how I 
want it, but if I use the f6 key to cycle through the columns, when I land on 
artists, and arrow right once to the albums lists for a given artist, then 
press f6 to go in to that album, the tracks there are in alphabetical order 
too, where I'd prefer to see them in playing order. I know that if I move out 
of the column and go back to search library, and tab to and check the albums 
view, the tracks then in the albums column revert to numerical order.

I had hoped to be able, when in whatever column, to go to options, and choose 
the sort I wanted, just for that column, but it appears the chosen sort order 
gets applied across all columns, until the tick in the check box is changed.

Hope I've explained this ok. It's no great issue in the scheme of things, and I 
can certainly live with it, I just wondered if I'd missed a trick along the way

  Hi Andy.

  The tracks are presented in track number order by default.  Are all your 
albums sorted in this way?

  What view are you using, song, artist or album?

  Issuing a left mouse click on the title of the column will effect a sort and 
there’s also an apply sort fields option in the applications menu, though I 
haven’t played with this as my albums are all presented in track number order.

  Regards.

  Kevin

  Hi all -

  In iTunes, is it possible to have album tracks show up in numerical playing 
order? So far, if I select an album, and look at the tracks, they are in 
alphabetical order. When I transfer music on to my iPhone, I am able to see the 
tracks in numerical order, but not in iTunes. Can this be changed? -
