Flac file with tags:
Artist 1: First Joe
Artist 2: **Second Joe**
Artist 3: Third Joe
In the _Tag Panel_ i see:
> First Joe\\ **Second Joe** \\Third Joe
After editing the second item i see:
> First Joe\\ **Second Fred** \\Third Joe
Again. In _Extended Tag Panel_ i see:
> ARTIST First Joe
> ARTIST **Second Joe**
> ARTIST Third Joe
After editing the second item i see:
> ARTIST First Joe
> ARTIST Third Joe
> ARTIST **Second Fred**
I do not know, if it is a mistake or intentional, but i think, it would be more appropriate to keep the order.

I agree. It does have relevance in players that don't support multiples.
I avoid editing multiples in Extended Tags for this reason.
I'd guess that it's not intentional per se, but some sort of optimization when writing the data.

My purpose is other:
1. the right order of all files, when i sort the table by that column;
2. when a song is multi-title (medley), the authors must follow the titles.

Solved in 3.04b
