Of course you can: The field name of file size is - surprise - %filesize%. However, it will display the filesize in bytes so it is not too human readable. %filesize_natural% will format automatically to something like "6.05MB". For a complete reference of all %fieldnames% available (apart from the fact that you can define any field you like by just adding it in foobar's file properties dialog) is available in the wiki: Foobar2000:Title Fomratting Reference.

(One hint: using the math and string functions like $replace() you can accomplish pretty much any output format you desire. Other quite handy functions are $select and $strstr.)

is there anyway to make it 'sort' friendly? since, when i sort by highest, 1.32MB comes before 10.1MB.
thanks

quick workaround - make a column with %filesize%, sort by it, then collapse it.

sorry, i don't understand, won't %fliesize% give it to me in bytes?
-edit, ohhh i see what you mean! thank you, but, it's not what i want, as you guessed by 'quick workaround'
