It seems to me, that actions are very helpful. I practised that for simple string operations with good success.  
Is it possible to automatize the following two steps into an action?:

1. Sort Files according to Tracknumber
2. Convert Textfile to tag using a given format string (like the manual action)

I am using the most current version of MP3TAG.

Regards and many thanks in advance,

-Richard

This has to be done before you execute the action.

There is an action for that - but I think you are just as quick with the Convert\>Text file - tag function.
