Hello there, I have been looking through the software and forums for an answer but found nothing.

I wondered if there is a way to get a filesize column in mp3tag? I have a couple of versions of albums and want to sort by largest to smallest and then ditch the smaller one.

I already have a bitrate column but the bitrate for each is 320kbps so I need more information to be able to sort by.

Is this possible please?

The default installation already comes with a file size column: a separate column in the file list, which you can use for sorting by file size.

If you deleted that column by accident, there is a dedicated help topic on customizing columns:

> **[File List – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/file-list/)**
>
> Customization options for the File List, including adding, removing, hiding, and rearranging of columns. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

Please note, that you'd use `%_file_size%` as Value and `%_file_size_bytes%` at Sort by.
