Donna, I just tried telling Siri to "Play my Pink albums in order." This is the only artist for which I have more than one album on my iPhone. Siri did start playing the first track on one of my Pink albums in order and the Shuffle indicator was not selected. When I tapped the next track button, the second track on that album began playing. What I can't figure out is how Siri picked the album to start with since she didn't do it either alphabetically or by release date.

Hi Alan, Well, so far as I can tell, specifying Unshuffled doesn't seem to work. Clearly I have more research to do on this. :) thanks for the suggestion.
