it puts songs in alphabetical order by title of the song but you may change this to artist if you want. I have never seen the option you are referring to in iTunes. speaking of iTunes, I create my own ringtones. How can I convert them to the format that mac can read if I wish? the option is always dimmed in iTunes. Thanks,
