I have a bunch of songs I want to sort a mix of artists like I have songs that are like
3005 - Childish Gambino how do I convert it to Childish Gambino - 3005
so I don't have to sift through other artists songs to find the song I want to listen to.

What are we talking about?
The fields ARTIST or TITLE (or both) or the file property filename?

The filename is no title, sorry. And in general, MP3tag is a program to deal with the embedded metadata.
But there is a function to deal with the filename:
Convert\>Filename-Filename
Old filename pattern: %1 - %2
New filename pattern: %2 - %1

additionally I have songs that only have title but no artist is there a way to add the artist without having to do every song 1 by 1? The artist is in the metadata its just not in the title. Also it did work thank you!
