I'm wondering if there is a way to sort by the date files were created. This would be useful in some cases prior to using the auto track numbering feature.

Thank you.

You may create a new column in grid view

- by right click on the column header
- by menu View/Columns

Name: **Modified**  
Value: **%\_file\_mod\_datetime%**

"mod" in value apparently means "modified".

Use instead: "%\_file\_create\_datetime%" (without quote marks) for the date/time created.

The possible file properties can be found here in the [documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#file-properties):
