To help users check and sort their cover arts, it would be nice if there was an option to show the cover art size by pixels (for example 900x900) and there should be the option to sort the list based on size.
Thank you very much for this program - it is a blessing.

AFAIK there is a property variable for %\_cover\_width% and %\_cover\_height%. So it should be possible to sort by this data

Yes, the properties are already built in. But the filename list does not have the possibility to show the sizes in spreadsheet like manner, like it shows all other properties.
It would be a nice feature to have.

You do know the functions to customize the file list?

While you can reference any field which is, e.g., listed in the extended tag dialog as name via a placeholder %name% in Mp3tag, it's also possible to customize the UI using these placeholders.

As that allows to create further columns
Which MP3tag version do you have?

Such as this for example.
These columns show the number of covers embedded, the cover width in pixels, the cover height in pixels, and can even be combined to show both in a single field.

If anyone is interested, this is what I used:
For cover art size in pixels:
`%_cover_width%x%_cover_height%`
For cover art size in KB:
`$if2($div(%_cover_size%,1024),0) KB`
