I'd like to get some opinions/suggestions here.
When you have a track with a title that has descriptors (remix, live, demo, instrumental, etc.) and also has a featured artist, which seems more logical for the title tag?
title [feat. artist] [remix]
- OR -
title [remix] [feat. artist]
I find that when searching for a specific title that has an album version as well as live versions or remixes, it appears more organized this way:
title [feat. artist]
title [feat. artist] [live]
title [feat. artist] [remix]
As opposed to:
title [feat. artist]
title [live] [feat. artist]
title [remix] [feat. artist]
However, which makes more sense? I looked at some of the various tagging "Style Guides" online (MusicBrainz, iTunes, Spotify, etc.) but could not find this specific scenario. Does anyone know if there is a "correct" way to do this?
Thanks for reading!

There is no standard for this. So you can do what you like.
I personally think that the version belongs to the title, so should be the first item to be mentioned and then follows the featured artist.
What I would definitely do, regardless of the position: enclose the different data into different separators. Like that it is easier to be addressed, if there should ever be a special field for the version or the featured artist:
So, instead of all square brackets like
title [remix] [feat. artist]
I would use
title [remix] \
or
title [remix] {feat. artist}

I do something similar. I always add the featured artist/remix title in brackets.
Artist - Song Title (ft. \*\*\*\*\*)
Artist - Song Title (Version/Remix Artist RMX)
I abbreviate featuring to ft. (lower case) and Remix to RMX (upper case).

My system that I designed and redesigned over the years:
- file is in the folder of the very first artist that is listed in ARTIST
- all featured artist are in ARTIST
- the name of mixer / remixer is always in TITLE / FILENAME
- the name of the mix / remix is always in the TITLE
- all that live info also goes into TITLE
``
``
Issues: almost none
Rarely I end up having "Remix`of a`Remix`` in TITLE- that is not really a problem, as all I have to do is to read them from left to right in order to know what was first
But when I get a Mashup it gets a little tricky / inconsistent. As I consider mashups to be a stand alone piece of music, I put it in the folder of the mashuper [while ARTIST has all the original performers]
``
``
But I can imagine that someone who is deep into remixes and megamixes, what want to emphasize / search by the remixers- thus keep files in folder of a DJ / producer, and not the original performer
But for sure I would not put any feat. artist in the TITLE: two long cooperating names of remixers added to already long original title- and you run out of available space
