iTunes and "Date Added"

Hi,
I'm having problems with syncing TV shows to my iphone.
Basically, the TV shows weren't bought/added in order of episode number, e.g. I got ep 10 first, then 7, then 13 etc.
Now, I want to sync 10 eps at a time, so I'm using the "sync 10 most unrecent unwatched episodes" function.
However, itunes then syncs the oldest 10 eps that have been marked as new, so my 10 eps on the iphone look like: 1,2,3,6,18,19,21,22,23,26

Is there any way to either change the "Date added" information, or a way around this, without manually selecting 10 eps to "mark as new" every times I sync?

Thanks,
Michael
 
Unfortunately the Date Added field is one of the few (maybe the only?) that can't be edited either in iTunes or through AppleScript. The only way to really do it is to change your system clock, then re-add the file. Kind of a pain.
 
seems to me, you could delete all of them from your library but not from your machine. than just re-add them. they'll all have the same date then.
