For some reason a couple of my albums have the right order on iTunes but the wrong order on my iPod Classic. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the right track order in their info, so I don't know why this happens... Thanks.

Are these albums or playlists in the form of albums?
I've noticed the exact same problem in a couple of my playlists. I'm *guessing* they are ordered on your ipod in the sequence they got transferred to the ipod. The way I work around it is by browsing through the artists > album > song list, which then shows in the correct order.

Hope this helps.

What do you mean by 'browsing' through the artists? I have these as albums as I don't have any playlists. Sorry, I'm confused about what you said.

Well I'm not sure how things show up on the new iPod Classic, but my 1st gen iPod nano lets me browse via Artists, or Songs, or Albums. So instead of going through directly to Albums, try going through to Artist, then Album, and then song list.

Also, have you checked to make sure that it's not set to shuffle all songs?
