See if this is what you are looking for
$num(%track%,2) - $validate($trim(%ARTIST%) - $trim(%TITLE%),)

If you load the playlist then the tracks will be dsiplayed in the correct order, right?
If the filename has to reflect that order you may use
$num(%\_counter%,2)
which produces a two-digit number.
So a filename like
$num(%\_counter%,2) - %artist% - %title%
would show the layout of playlist.
If you want to go back to your old filename then rename the files
%track% - %artist% - %title%
Was this, what you wanted?

Yes when load a playlist in Mp3tag displayed correct.
If i use this sentence $num(%\_counter%,2) - $validate($trim(%ARTIST%) - $trim(%TITLE%),)
The result is
I need in the filename, the same order of playlist.
Need this (example made with keyboard)
Thx in advance and sorry again for my bad english.

Get Mp3tag v2.45b then it should work with %\_counter%
