Is there a script I can utilize to sort a specific field alphabetically? I use a #Hashtag system to categorize my music. I add #Hashtag notes to the "Composer Field" for each song. For example the composer field for "Notorious Big - Juicy" would be "#HIPHOP #90S #PARTY #BROOKLYN #BIGGIE #THROWBACKS #SINGALONGS #LASTSONGS #CLOSING"

I would like to sort these hashtags alphabetically

Is this possible?

Do you mean to sort those hashtags alphabetically? It’s not clear on what you are asking.

Yes I want to sort those hashtags alphabetically (they are stored in the composer field)

There is (currently) no function in MP3tag to sort the contents of a field.
