tags 104089 +wontfix thanks The requested sort-order frames (TSOP, TSOA, TSOT) are ID3v2.4 frames. id3v2 is a thin front-end over id3lib, which only writes ID3 v2.3.0 and is no longer maintained upstream. Although id3lib defines the enum constants for these frames, it has no entries for them in its internal frame-definition table, so it cannot create or render them; supporting them would require patching id3lib itself (adding 2.4 frames to a 2.3-only library) in addition to id3v2, with the semantic caveat that the result would be 2.4 frames written into a 2.3 tag.
Users who need sort-order tags (and ID3v2.4 in general) should use mid3v2(1) from the mutagen project, which supports these frames natively. The id3v2 manual page now points to mid3v2 as the actively maintained alternative for exactly this kind of functionality. Tagging this wontfix.
