Check the extended tags dialogue with ⌘T and see which field name is used for the data.
The add a column for the field in the file list and/or that field in the tag panel as described in the documentation

> Mp3tag supports flexible tagging, which means that the tag fields available on the Tag Panel on the left and as columns in the File List are not fixed. 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.

Thank you very much, Ohrenkino,
I manage to add the "Grouping" field.
The action that I have to do is copying all the info from "grouping" to "album field. I did it with the function "import or copy tag from tag", and it worked out.
But now, if I open iTunes, the "album" field has not changed.. How to visualize now on iTunes the changes?
Thank you very much for your patience, I am a total ignorant on this topic.. thank you so much

> For those with IOS devices or are simply using iTunes as your primary music manager, you will find that mp3tag is far more flexible and powerful than the built-in Get Info editor. However any changes made outside of iTunes will not automatically be reflected into any music files that have already been loaded. There are two ways to get these changes to be reflected into iTunes.

@Fabio A word of caution!
I use the grouping field extensively in iTunes. Please note that this is saved in different tags, depending on your file types.
**mp3** files use the tag field %grouping%
**m4a** files (lossy or ALAC) use the tag field %contentgroup%
