I only know one way to do what you want. Set up a new playlist on your iPod/iPhone. Drag the podcasts you want to that playlist. In the View menu select "View Options" and check "Release Date". You can now sort the podcasts according to the date they were recorded. The iPod/iPhone will play them in that order.
