Strange tagging issue, name related: Peter Gabriel, lists as Gabriel, Peter

[nimnul]

Hi all,

I have a large collection of +20000 tracks, +300 artists, 95% i Flac, OK
All is tagged correctly via Tag & Rename.

All artists lists by first name: Like "Frank Zappa" shows up under "F", except ONE artist: "Peter Gabriel" shows up under "G"???

The Gabriel albums come from different sources, including my rips via db Poweramp/CD Ripper. And are not tagged in any other way than rest of my collection.

Any Clues?

must have an ARTISTSORT tag that uses Gabriel, Peter. Install mp3tag, open gabriel album, select files, right click on files, select "extended tags" and you will see an ARTISTSORT tag. By the way, if even ONE TRACK in your collection has this tag for Peter Gabriel, my understanding is that ALL Peter Gabriel tracks will show up that way. So you may only see this artistsort tag in a single file, even a compilation album that has a Peter Gabriel track.

Thanks for the tip!

Lets see how this shows up after retagging with mp3Tag.

Strange that only one artist shows up this way. Did you use a different ripper for his albums or is this just a leftover by accident.

The tip Garym provided solved the issue. Many thanks.
