How can I reverse the characters in Tag field.

For example:

I have artist 'nhoj' --- can I make it 'john' or - even better - 'John' ?

Yes, just use %artist%\%dummy%  
as format string at ![:mt_ftt:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/6ab8d95b0c2a82cb4f9b0eb16ea87ad3a6575015.png ":mt\_ftt:") Converter \> Filename - Tag.

For one field you can use  
$reverse(%field%)  
And then you can upper the first letter with $caps(X)

So it would like this:  
$caps($reverse(%field%))

This could be a formatting option and then you would have a reversed field.
