Chances are that what's happened is that you've accidentally set iTunes to sort by a different criteria. It's easy to do.
Open a playlist and have a look at the headings (Name, Artist, Album etc). If anything other than the "track number" (represented in iTunes 10 by an up arrow at the far left of the listings) is highlighted, there's your issue.
