The idea is contained in this epilogue-ish explanation

In that all I have to do is to first sort file list by TITLE [by clicking its Column which holds it its `Sort by` field the `$replace(%TITLE%,'[',_01,'+',_02,'{',_03,'(',_04,'#',_05)` code] - and then sort files by ALBUM [by clicking its Columns that holds the `$replace(%ALBUM%,'<',,'>',)` code]
In other words:
I finally can sort my `FILENAME`s / `TITLE`s exactly how I need to. And so I wish I could also have that sorting applied to them every time when I sort by `ALBUM`. Right now I have to do this manually, i.e. in two steps: first sort by [Column for] `FILENAME`s or `TITLE`s and then sort by [Column for] `ALBUM` [because Mp3tag retains sorting in the `FILENAME` / `TITLE` when I clicks headers of other Columns]
The `$replace(%ALBUM%,'<',,'>',)` code for ALBUM provides me with such desired order
```
Blade Runner
Blade Runner <25th Anniversary Edition>
Blade Runner ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Blade Runner 2049 <2018 Eisengeist Edition>
Blade Runner Orchestral Adaptation
```
instead of the default one which looks like this
```
Blade Runner ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Blade Runner
Blade Runner <25th Anniversary Edition>
Blade Runner
Blade Runner 2049 <2018 Eisengeist Edition>
Blade Runner Orchestral Adaptation
```
[I had to add that `` ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !`` as a maerker to the ``Blade Runner \``, because I could not make it stand out in any other way because the Forum kept messing up what I was writing]
As for the `FILENAME` / `TITLE` it has been thoroughly discussed in this topic. But it comes down to the same principal rule: of putting certain "annotations" and markings before others; with the ones contained in `[` `]` being the foremost while the ones starting with `#` being of the least "importance" to my naming system]
