One thing you can try is this: From the Itunes tool bar at the top where you see Name, Composer, Time, Artist, etc, click on "Composer." Then make sure the names of all the composers are there for every piece. They need to be referred to consistently, otherwise they will show up as different composers on the Ipod. Computers are very literal. If any composer names are missing, right click on them and click on "get info." Then click on "Info" on the menu that comes up. Then you can manually type in the composer's name in the "composer" line, as well as the any other items as you want to fill in, making sure that you are perfectly consistent in how you label things. Be patient, it can be time consuming. One problem I had with CD's that I uploaded to Itunes was that the encoded info from the discs were not always consistent. For example, there were several different ways of labeling Beethoven: Beehoven, Beethoven, L. V., Beeethoven, Ludwig van, Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827), etc. I ended up with several different groups of Beethoven works on the Ipod. I had to manually change them to one form of the name.

I am not sure why the order of movements get reversed. In Itunes I have to select composer on the bar at the top to get them in the right order; clinking on Artist or Name reverses them. But I not sure how that translates to the Ipod when you sync. But I would suggest making sure movements are in the right order on Itunes before you sync.
