have hundreds (if not thousands) of videos which are not movies or TV shows or bought from iTunes. The vast majority of this are things like programming courses, martial arts instructional videos, etc.
Many of these videos have names like "Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc." or "Part 1, Part 2, etc."
On my iPod classic, it was trivial to setup playlists in iTunes, sync, and then have the videos neatly categorized and the videos in order.
On iOS...it's a disaster. All the videos are dumped under "Home Movies" and there is no organization at all, except alphabetical. All "Lesson 1" videos followed by all "Lesson 2" and no idea what is what.
Other than super-crude hacks like renaming hundreds of videos so the titles sort a certain way (which is still an inertial scrolling RSI), I'm wondering if there is any effective way to organize video playlists in iOS? I found a few suggestions online that relied on trickery but some of these were "fixed" in later iOS versions. Really all I'm looking for is the ability to pick a set of videos and play them in order, which seems a basic human need...
Any advice appreciated!
