I use a Smart Playlist called “Recently Added” a lot on my iPhone. Whenever I add a new track, that’s my go to list. With the latest update to iOS 5, the list started to display in reverse order when synced onto the phone, which makes it impossible to play a series on newly added songs in sequence, since the newest is the last on the list.
Luckily, I found a solution. You need to edit the playlist by right clicking and selecting “Edit Smart Playlist”. Under “Match the following rule”, I had “Playlist” is “Music” previously. I editted the playlist and chose “Media Kind” rather than “Playlist”. After that, everything went back to normal after I synced it onto the phone. If you’re having the same problem, perhaps this will solve it for you too.
