hello, before I auto-number a lot of files, is there anyway to drag/move the files into the order I want them.
So I might want a certain folder/song to play first, another folder/song to play second etc
Thank you

Press the Alt key while you drag files in the file list with the mouse to their new position.

Or you can press the Alt key and the arrow keys **↑** or **↓** to move one ore more selected files up and down.
From the documentation about [Keyboard shortcuts](https://docs.mp3tag.de/keyboard/#general):
