I have my Main Podcasts smart playlist (genre = podcast, play count = 0, exclude certain podcasts based on name).
I sort it so the oldest is at top (by Release Date) in iTunes.
When I sync this to my iPod 5G it shows up just in that order.
On my iPhone it looks scrambled - no order I can see.
It does look like the Auto Update is working though - because one of the podcasts I listened to this morning is missing (like it should). I did hit shuffle once by accident.
My Favorite Music smart playlist - sorted by Last Date Played looks messed up too.
And a second podcast smart playlist is messed up. Pretty sure I have not shuffled this one.

IIRC I think the playlist content was in oder with iPhone 3.0, but the playlist menu (ie the list of playlists) did not sort like iTunes & iPod - I have a couple of playlists with '-' in the front to take them to the top of the list, but they went to the bottom with 3.0. Also the auto update was broken with 3.0 (it skiped tracks).
