You can change how you organize your podcasts by changing settings in iTunes.
Podcasts let you listen to your favorite radio shows, discover new music or learn about nearly anything. However, your iPod can only show them in the order they appear in iTunes. You can use iTunes to arrange your podcast list in several ways: automatically select the podcasts, manually select them or arrange them in a playlist.
