    When I use my iPod Touch in my 2010 Prius IV via USB it works great -- the song, album and artist names are all displayed properly on the Nav screen and it sounds great. But the tracks on the albums are listed and played in alphabetical order rather than the order that they appear on the album. For many albums, tracks are in context with adjacent tracks -- playing them in alphabetical order messes up that context. Is there any way to force the Prius to play the tracks in the order they appear on the album rather than alphabetical order?

    Do the tracks play in the correct order when using the iPod in stand-alone mode? It could be that the software you used to rip the music to your hard drive didn't add the track numbers to the file names.

    Yeah, they play in the correct order using the iPod Touch by itself. It wasn't a ripped CD -- it was an album purchased on iTunes.

    If the tracks display in the order you want on the iPod, try playing the iPod, then plugging it into the USB port. On my nano it will pick up whatever was playing as it was plugged in. I have not seen what order it plays in after the first song though (i only listen to audio books)

    I think you're right! I purchased another album on iTunes today, but this time I listened to a few tracks on my iPod before using it in the car. This time the tracks played in the correct order. Thanks for the tip.
