While the big banner new feature of iTunes 7.2 is the inclusion of support for iTunes Plus (aka DRM free iTunes music), there were other minor changes. I happened to stumble upon one that might throw off your feng shui if you’re as hot on podcasts as I am.
Apple changed the sorting logic for podcast names. It’s a little smarter now. Witness the attached picture. Previously, the word “The” at the beginning of podcast names affected its sorting. As such, The Bitterest Pill ended up further down the list. Now it’s ignored and rightful order is restored.
