how to shuffle playlist without re-arranging songs

[ashjamben]

this might sound like a daft question, but it's just started to annoy me.

i've just got into using smart playlists, and love em. I've got one just containing the band name 'minus the bear', and it puts all the albums i have in album order and will shuffle through different tracks.

but now for some reason when i click shuffle it re arranges all the tracks in the playlist. i know its abit ocd, but i liked have all my tracks in order. then if i want a specific track on i can find it easily, and then just let it shuffle after that.

i don't know how i had it like that before, but does anyone know how to get it back how i want it?

If you have the playlist sorted by a column other than the leftmost numbered column (so artist, album, rating, genre, etc.), shuffle won't affect the displayed order.

genius!

simple fix, don't know why i didn't think of that.

thank you
