Howdy.
Hal, in iTunes, click the Music source under the Library column.
Next note all of the column titles like Name, Artist, Album, Genre,
Kind, Rating, and many more.
These column titles act like sort commands.
Click on the Name column title and your music is sorted by name of the
song.
Click on the Artist column and the library is sorted by name of the
Artist.
You can turn on and turn off many column titles.
I have a column turned on called Date Added. This is very convenient
for rapidly finding a song or several that you just ripped or just
added by dragging to the window.
To turn on a column choose the View menu and the View Options command.
The View Options dialog box should open.
Date Added is in the Stats section. Put a check mark in the box and a
new column is turned on at the far right of your columns which means
you may need to scroll to see it. You can make these columns wider or
narrower by dragging the small vertical bar between columns.
Click Date Added, be sure the little Ascending/Descending black
triangle is pointed down and your library of songs should almost
instantly resort showing the last tunes or files you have added at the
top.
Of course you can sort on other items as well. For example, sort on
the Kind column to put all file format types together.
Easy-Peasy.

They're pretty cheap on eBay, which is not a good sign. I know Apple started using a new kind of processor instead of the old one iBooks use, which I hear means there's a very noticeable lack of compatability with modern programs. I'm wondering:
A) What difference would it make in that department if I used a more up to date operating system?
B) What programs have trouble running on an iBook and what ones don't?
***
Also, I'm wondering, will the internet run fast on an iBook? Does how fast the internet runds and how quickly the laptop starts up relate to the amount of data stored on the machine? In other words, if I keep stored data low, will the computer run faster?
***
How good is this laptop for watching videos on Youtube?
***
What order, in terms of when they were released, do these OS's go in? I've heard of Lion, Mountain Lion, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Panther and Tiger.
***
Is there anything else I should know that I haven't thought to ask?

The last iBook was discontinued nearly 7 years ago, and could not runn anything later than MacOS 10.5.8 (we're on 10.8.3 now).
> A) What difference would it make in that department if I used a more up to date operating system?
It won't boot with any form of 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8.
> B) What programs have trouble running on an iBook and what ones don't?
Anything written for Intel, without PPC code in it, will not run.

The internet doesn't "run" at all. You connect *to* it, and that *mostly* depends on factors external to your computer.
> Does ... how quickly the laptop starts up relate to the amount of data stored on the machine?
No.
The clock speed, the amount of RAM.

No.

10.3.x -- Panther
10.4.x -- Tiger
10.5.x -- Leopard
10.6.x -- Snow Leopard
10.7.x -- Lion
10.8.x -- Mountain Lion

I would not bother with any Mac laptop that will not boot into 10.6, preferably 10.7 or later. Any Mac laptop that can not run 10.6 at a minimum is in the EOL, end of life. You will have problems finding software as time goes on. You will begin to see sites not accepting web browsers that fun on OS, operating systems before 10.6.

Two days ago I signed up with a new ISP (Bell.net in Canada) and then found that while my internet connection worked well, Mail I tried to send went to the outbox and stayed there. That was yesterday - this morning when I opened the mail window the messages suddenly went out. A new message also went right out. I thought "OK this is fine now, I'm back in business." This evening I have the same problem, new messages refuse to leave the outbox.
Hmmm - I had a thought, use the new account instead of gmail. I copied/pasted the text to a new message box and chose to send from the Bell account. Everything that had hung promptly went out. My correspondent will now get the message twice.
Can anyone here suggest what is going on?

I'm not totally sure of what you did, so correct me if I got it wrong. At first you tried to send using the bell.net SMTP server, but it was a message from your Gmail account. Sometimes ISP's don't like to send stuff written on a "foreign" account. Sending a bell.net message using the bell.net SMTP server was no problem.
I do have a hypothesis of why it worked in the morning. You have Mail set up to use another SMTP server if the one you have first chosen won't accept it. I know that such is an option in Mail. Maybe, though, it works only when you relaunch Mail. That I don't know.
Check with your bell.net phone support and ask them. I'm sure they know more about it than I do.
