Hi,
I'm new to MP3Tag so don't know if I've done something stupid or not, but I can't seem to sort tracks by the track number. I load an album, select all tracks, click on the title column and it sorts the tracks by title alphabetically ascending or descending but when i try to do this by track number it has no effect.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks
Mike

You don't need to select any tracks to sort fields.
1. Right click on one of the columns.
2. Click customize columns.
3.Enter in values like shown.
You might want to just enter **%track%** in the sort field. I have it **%discnumber%%track%** because it make sense to have it sort in that order.
