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.
