The idea itself is not really new, see e.g. here:

> [@Jump alphabetically through column other than \_FILENAME](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/jump-alphabetically-through-column-other-than-filename/19787):

> Is there a way to load files, sort them by ALBUM and press \>\>c\<\< to get get to albums that start with the letter C? And when continuing pressing \>\>c\<\< have the selection move along down the list of albums? All I can get is jump from file to file on the basis of its FILENAME

or here

> [@\[Feature Request\] Jump to File](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/feature-request-jump-to-file/13365):
>
> Hi! Can you add Jump to File function to right click by file? It's must show file in folder

So yu may judge for yourself how far the implementation has gone.
