Hi,

I want to change this

1. Corfu My Love (R. Benatar, Kolenberg).mp3 to Corfu My Love - Kolengerg R. Benatar.

Can someone help me this? I have tried to use the "Firstname Lastname to ARTISTSORT-Lastname, Firstname" Action that I downloaded, but I think because of the ( ), it did not work. Thanks

Does this help:

_Name of action group:_ **Swap**

_Action type:_ **Replace with regular expression**  
_Field:_ **\_FILENAME**  
_Regular expression:_ **`(.*)\((.*), (.*)\)`**  
_Replace matches with:_ **`$1 - $3 $2`**

[] case-sensitive comparison
