I have used MP3Tag to change my audio books to podcasts. Using the extended tags I have made sure the file name, title and track number fields all include track information. The track number field is formatted 01, 02, 03... My problem is that when I go to the podcast on my Zune the tracks are sorted descending rather than ascending. How can I have the podcast tracks sort ascending on my Zune? Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you. ---

I found this > [@](#): > > When an episode is added and its RSS feed doesn't provide "published date", the Zune software uses "Date Created" instead - [http://www.softwaretalk.info/anybody-know-...h.y89irmLh.dpuf](http://www.softwaretalk.info/anybody-know-how-to-get-podcasts-sorted-correctly-on-a-zune.htm#sthash.y89irmLh.dpuf) So maybe you could try to add the "Published Date" and see if it sorts correctly ? ---
