Hello. I am trying to sort my list of audio files by title, in the main program window. But when I click on the bar at the head of the title column, or use the `View Sort by' menu command, nothing happens - the files remain sorted by artist. All my tags are in order, and the program has no difficulty reading them. Moreover, I can sort the files by title from within a player (WMP or XMPlay). Please advise me how to solve this problem. The files are all in WMA format. Running Mp3tag 2.37a in Windows XP Home SP2. Many thanks.
