Hi again Kim. Good news, even though I don't know how I actually did it but I
managed to sort out the ordering of the podcast episodes of a podcast once you
tap the selected one that's not in order.

I think how I did this was to create playlists for the podcasts that I was
noticing this with and then in turn, go into them individually and set the
order from oldest to newest. Once this was done, I went back into the podcasts
themselves and saw that the earliest was at the top and latest, at the bottom.
After this, I deleted the created playlists and the podcasts settings luckly
didn't changed.

At least, I think this is how I achieved what I was wanting for the podcasts to
do but it was partly due to trial and error on my part, just messing around
with the settings.

I just wanted to share this, just in case anyone else experience this trouble
as I have and while my solution isn't a concrete one, its here for what's its
worth.

Thanks though Kim, for encouraging me to mess around with the settings.
Without your suggestion, I might of not gotten the podcast ordering fixed.

Hi Daniel,
I looked and could not find that.
I know it seems a bit extreme, but you could put each podcast into a playlist
of its own.
Also look in the main settings and see what you find.
You can ask the developer too.
I think he is very good.
Sorry I could not help more.

Hi kim, many thanks for this but what I ment was the podcast list themselves
once you've opened the app. Not the playlist option you mentioned. I'm one
of those people who like to open the app, find my podcast that I'd like to
listen to, double tap that and then find the podcast episode I want to
listen to. Its the podcast list that's not in order that I'd like to change.
Not the PLAYLISTS Heading of the app. If that's any more clearer to
understand what I'm trying to express.

Hi there,
I have them going from the oldest to newest.
I think it is in playlist settings.
I will check.
I know it can be done and love the app overcast.

Hi all, is there anyone here who uses overcast and knows of a way for the
episodes of a podcast to go from the oldest downloaded episode to the
latest? So to put this into context with the applevis podcast, they are
currently listed in the following order but I'm wanting the reverse. I
hope this makes sense.
