Hello All,

I was wondering if some can help me out with the alpha-numeric order of my album listing...

Currently I have the following order in my album listing:

Chapter 1
Chapter 10
Chapter 11
Chapter 12...
etc...etc..
Chapter 2
Chapter 20
Chapter 21
Chapter 22....
etc...etc...
Chapter 3
Chapter 30...
etc.. etc...

How can I get the ipod to list the albums in the PROPER way as follows:
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3...
etc..etc...
Chapter 10
Chapter 11
Chapter 12
Chapter 13....
etc...etc..
Chapter 20
Chapter 21...
etc... etc..
Chapter 30

I can't understand why the ipod can continue the proper sequence of numbering even the alpha characters are the same... I hope this makes sense... let me know and I'll try to be clearer... its getting to annoying...

Thanks in advance to all!

the numbering doesn't go by whole number, it goes by digit. So, anything starting with 1 comes before anything starting with 2 and so on.
if you change your numbering to a 2 digit system throughout, it'll work. just put a 0 in front of 1-9. so, it would be:
Chapter 01
Chapter 02
. . .
and so on.
Just remember than numbers starting with zero come before numbers starting with 1 which come before numbers starting with 2 . . . it's not read the way you or i read it. (two-one, as opposed to twenty-one.)
