How can I get my podcasts listed in chronological order? Right now they are listed in reverse chronological order with the most recent at the top of the list. Since French lessons, for example, make more sense when going from easier to harder rather from harder to easier, I'd like to get them listed most recent last. That way, I could start at the top of the list and when each podcast is through, the next one will start right after it. (It would, right?) I've looked around for a preference check block or something like that, but I haven't been able to find one. How do I do this?

I've never understood why this is not just a straightforward option, as it makes so much sense.

The only way I know of is to make a smart playlist with the podcasts in question, then sort it as you desire. This works for whacking them on an iPod as well.

Yeah that's what I do, its pretty straightforward. Then I just listen to my "Podcasts" playlist.

That's very un-Apple.

Make a smart playlist with rules:

Podcast.is true.
Name.is. <name of the podcast>

And save it as the name of the podcast.

Open the playlist in itunes and toggle the "Date Added" arrow at the top till the oldest episode is at the top.

This is how the list should sync to your iPod.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I agree with QSilver, though. It's un-Apple. This is something that should be dirt simple, like a radio check block for "List newest first" and for "List chronologically".
