I am not sure but I think this is a sorting bug... ■ Here is how Windows explorer list my files sorted by filename: ![explorer](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8c61aa3e8f44ef530084ddb9849c0f79cfaf706f.jpeg) ■ Here is how an other program (_which I use to get some measurements_) list my files into it's `csv` file sorted by filename: ![mr](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/3/323c5089dc23dde1225770303281fbe8a33aaa03.jpeg) ■ And here is how `Mp3tag` list the same files sorted by filename: ![mp3tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/0/00b72cb2ce7a607698bfa76e412e1de1c727ac5d.jpeg) As you can see, `Mp3tag` sorting is different!!! So, in my case, where I have to import those measurements from this `csv` file it is a problem. Because wrong measurements go to wrong files. ---

If your CSV file contains the filename, Mp3tag should assign the values from the XYZ-track to the matching filename in Mp3tag. Or I'm wrong? ---

I think not but give me some time to recheck it and I'll tell 100%!!! ---

According to [the help](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/import-tags-from-text-files) Convert Text file -\> Tag should ensure the correct file gets tagged: ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f20b4422dbc58a00fa85df21e20c9e627d2da1cb.png) ---

Hmmm... I didn't know that!!! I'll test it right now... ---

I think it can't be done... The other program I use to get measurements exports a `csv` file which looks like this: ```auto Filename and path;Actual bitrate;Frequency;Silence in seconds;Clipping %;Max. clipping; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - Afta Ta Heria.mp3;320;20024;0,00;0,00;2; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - Allos Gia Hio Travixe (Live).mp3;320;20024;0,33;;0; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - An Ine I Agapi Amartia (Live).mp3;320;20024;0,00;;0; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - An Ise Plai Mou (1).mp3;320;20045;0,98;;0; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - An Ise Plai Mou.mp3;320;20045;0,98;;0; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - Anepidoto (1).mp3;320;20089;0,00;;0; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - Anepidoto.mp3;320;20110;0,00;0,00;1; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - Avgi Anthismeni.mp3;320;20045;0,00;0,00;3; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - Avrio Pali (1).mp3;320;20024;0,37;0,00;1; C:\Users\***\Desktop\New folder\01 - Avrio Pali.mp3;320;20024;0,37;0,00;1; ``` From `Mp3tag`, after I load the tracks, I go to `Conver` \> `Text file - Tag`, I put the exported `csv` file into `Filename` field and I put `%comment%` into `Format string` field. And it imports the data to comment tag line by line. But it isn't assign the values accordingly as you said... What am I doing wrong? ---

Your format string should include the part for the filename, something like this: `%_path%;%comment%` Or if you want to split the values into different tags directly: `%_path%;%Actual bitrate%;%Frequency%;%Silence in seconds%;%Clipping%;%Max. clipping%` I can't test it here, you have to adjust the names and number of tags exactly to your content in your CSV file. The help says that `%_path%` contains the complete filename including the path. `%_filename_ext%` would only contain the filename and extension itself, without additonal path information. ---

Done!!! 😀 I just changed `Format string` field from `%comment%` to `%_path%;%comment%` as you said and it worked!!! Now it is assign the values accordingly!!! I don't know what to say... Your are my hero man!!! 😆 Thank you very very very much!!! PS: Do you think I have to move my topic to "Support" section instead of "Bugs Reports"? If I can do this... ---

You're welcome. I have changed the category to "Support". So that I can also say: Done. 😉 ---
