Reorder contents of a field?

Support

Hi,

I have a recorder that saves files as "Station-12152024-time". It is easy to translate the filename into the tag using MP3tag. I don't need the time so I delete that one.

My question is, is there an action that will let me rearrange the date that is saved from 12152023 to 20231215?

If I could do this it will be much easier to sort my files in chronological order.

Thank you.

If the date is really always saved as MMDDYYYY in one of your tags you can use the Convert Tag -> Tag and as Format string:
$right(%DATE%,4)$left(%DATE%,4)
This would rearrange 4 characters from right and 4 characters from left and build this as new content of the given Field name (DATE in this example):
