Dear all
I want to export the tags to a HTML file. However I see that they are sorted based on the Track number. How can I change the default sort option from track number to filename? I can not find where
The export function looks like
```
$filename(html,utf-8)
Mp3tag - File Overview
Mp3tag - File Overview
%_date%
| Title |
Artist |
Album |
Track |
Year |
Genre |
Filename |
$loop(%_filename_ext%)
$replace(%title%,&,&)
$replace(%artist%,&,&)
$replace(%album%,&,&)
$replace(%track%,&,&)
$replace(%year%,&,&)
$replace(%genre%,&,&)
$replace(%_filename_ext%,&,&)
$loopend()
build on %_date% with %_app% - the universal Tag Editor www.mp3tag.de
```

I think that this export script sort by
%\_filename\_ext%, as can be seen in the line
$loop(%\_filename\_ext%)
So apparently, your filename starts with the track number....

Yeah thanks a lot for the point. I changed it to desired option
