Kevin - I just meant that the option menu allows for different sorting choices,
one of which is by track number, but like I said, if I choose this, the songs
list view then groups all 01s etc together, not a view I would want -

Hi Andy.
Yes, following those instructions results in the tracks being presented in
playing order and not alphabetical order. I also see album playing order when
I have songs view enabled and not in song alphabetical order.
What do you mean by selecting track number from options?
Regards.

Hi Kevin -
So, if you check songs, then use the f6 key to get to your artists list.
Choose an artist, and arrow right in to the albums list for that artist, and
press f6 to bring up the songs on that album, are they in playing order, or
alphabetical order? For me, it's the latter, unless I choose track number from
options, but if I do this, and then look at the songs list for the library, I
get all the 01 tracks together, followed by all the 02 tracks, etc etc. What I
wanted was to see the songs in alphabetical order when in the entire songs
list, but for them to be in numerical order when looking at individual albums.
So far, I haven't found how to do this. If I left click on a column heading,
there are no menus showing up, it just keeps me in the list -

Hi Andy.
My track lists are in playing order whether I have songs, artists or albums
checked.
Not sure why your view shows differently but I can only suggest to try left
clicking on the album column heading in that view to see if that puts the
albums into track sequence.
Regards.

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 -
Andy

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.

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? -
Andy
