Hello. Is it possible to change the order of multiple tags?
Example:
Artist:DOMOTO & Yulua Oreshko
Artists (with multiple field):DOMOTO\\Yulua Oreshko
Then I change artist tag by action: Yulua Oreshko & DOMOTO
But how to change BY ACTION the order of artists tag (with multiple field):Yulua Oreshko\\DOMOTO

Create an action of the type "Guess value"
Source: `$regexp($meta_sep(artist,==),(.*)==(.*),$2\\\\$1)`
Target format string: %artist%

Your View -\> Extended Tags (Alt +T) are currently looking like this, correct?
And you would like to see it like this?

Thank you, it works, if to use "artists" exept "artist":
`$regexp($meta_sep(artists,==),(.*)==(.*),$2\\\\\\\\$1)`
Often I change the order in the tag "artist":
`$regexp(%artist%,'(.*) & (.*)','$2 & $1')`
Flight of the Falcon & Nataliya Gyurd -\> Nataliya Gyurd & Flight of the Falcon
Now I will change the order of tag "artists" too

For future readers:
The above solution let you swap exactly two parts in the content of your ARTIST Tag, if exactly one ⎵`&`⎵ character divide the two parts.
It don't let you set the order if two or more ⎵`&`⎵ character exists in the ARTIST tag.
Example: ARTIST
`Yulua Oreshko & DOMOTO & Third & Fourth`
-\>
`Fourth & Yulua Oreshko & DOMOTO & Third`
It also don't let you set the order if three or more multi-value ARTISTS exists:
Example: ARTISTS
`Yulua Oreshko\\DOMOTO\\Third\\Fourth`
-\>
`Fourth\\Yulua Oreshko==DOMOTO==Third`
