Rename iTunes playlists to control order Apps
iTunes does a nice job of organizing your playlists by type (i.e. Smart Playlists and custom playlists). However, when you transfer those playlists to your iPod, the playlists get re-ordered in alphabetical order. In order to restore their iTunes organization, just put a symbol in front of each different type of playlist. For example:
: Smart Playlist 1
: Smart Playlist 2
:: Regular Playlist 1
:: Regular Playlist 2
You can also use this trick to organize your playlists on iTunes or your iPod however you like. It's a simple trick that makes it easier to find the right playlist on your iPod, especially if you have a lot playlists.

Rename iTunes playlists to control order
Authored by: leenoble_uk on Dec 15, '03 11:39:25AM

If you take a look at the Font Character Palette you'll find a couple of useful glyphs of musical notes are available (Unicode 266C & 266B) I stick one or other of these at the start of playlist names in iTunes. They are more aesthetically pleasing than punctuation marks and they don't show up at all on the iPod although they do affect ordering. They don't even show up as blank characters so they don't off set the playlist name either.

So, I said ... well, I can't actually remember exactly what I said. But it was one of the most enormously cruel and frighteningly witty put downs ever.
