If I have a title that reads "Enter Sandman - Metallica", how can I REVERSE it so that it reads "Metallica - Enter Sandman"?

Thanks!

Using Format Value, you'll want to enter  
**Field:** TITLE  
**Format String:** `$regexp(%title%,(.*) - (.*),$2 - $1)`  
As long as your files are all separated by that same hyphen, and only that one, this will work well for you.
