Well sometimes when I dbPoweramp reads tags from places like freedb
(I'm not sure which source is the culprit), I've had tags come in like
this:

ARTIST = Name 1
ARTIST = Name 2
ARTISTSORT = Name 2
ARTISTSORT = Name 1

i.e. they are backwards.  I'm not sure why they are put in that way
except that these db's are nothing but voluntary input by anyone who
cares to submit info, and the info isn't always right.  I also find
that the tags will often have two ARTIST tags and only one ARTISTSORT
tag with seperators.  

It isn't a problem MP3Tag can't handle, but it is something you have to
watch out for.
