The iPod depends entirely on iTunes. Its sort order is that in the playlist
in iTunes. If you want to change the sort order, click one of the column
headers to sort in that order (title, artist, etc.) If you want to drag the
songs in your own order, click the left-most column header - the short one
with no label - then drag the songs in the order you want.

As I say (repeatedly) in my forthcoming iPod book, the key to understanding
the iPod is understanding iTunes.
