I'm not quite sure why, but we've been seeing an increase in customers who are reporting that their playlists are sometimes sorted in a strange or reverse order after syncing with iSyncr or iSyncr WiFi from their iTunes Library on Windows.
Technically, this is a bug in iTunes that returns the playlist order on Windows, where sometimes when you sort by a Date, Play Count, or Skip Count field, the track order that iTunes reports is incorrect.
We are working on a potential software workaround, but in the meantime, many users have had success fixing this problem in iTunes itself with the following steps:
- Right-click on the playlist that isn't sorting correctly and choose "Copy to Play Order"
- Now sort by the "track number", like so:
So if you've been seeing this issue, give that a try. Hopefully it will help =)
