Sort audio files by tags (Artist, Title, Album, etc...)

Hi,
I've named my audio files %artist% - %title%.ext so for now I can only sort by artist (alphabetically, ascending or descending).
Is there a way to also sort by e.g. title or any other supported embedded music tag?
Thx!

Just show the necessary tag column and use that for sorting?
Otherwise use a scripted custom column that returns only the part from the file name you want to use for sorting...

E.g. for the title:
return gettoken(<cc_base>, 2, " - ");

Damn! Now it works. I was certain I had tried that before ...oh well, I must have fumbled somewhere :?
Thanks! ;)
