iTunes behaving badly

I have created a play list for listening to my Pod casts. When new Pod casts come in, I transfer them into "Paul's Pod casts." The latest Pod cast used to go to the bottom of the list. Now the Pod casts are grouping together and I have not been able to change the order back to the way it was before. I have deleted all of the Pod casts out of my folder and then gone to "View," "Options," but to no avail. I am not using the latest version of iTunes. I am using an Intel iMac using the latest version of Leopard.

When you clicked on and highlighted "Name", you told iTunes to sort them by...

you guessed it... name.

If you want them sorted by "Release Date", you need to add that back to the options and select it instead of "Name".

Now I see.

Thank you!
