Sort by bitrate in Panels UI

I've been looking for the same thing. I want to make foobar sort all the files I've added by bitrate so I can easily look for those I need to upgrade.
I have no idea where to paste that code or if it will do the same thing.

Is it possible to make another option here somehow?

Yeah, tried it - didn't quite work. This is the only thing I hate about foobar, if you want to do something you have to know your code and read 200 pages worth of manuals (which don't make sense if you can't code). Thanks, though.

It should work and has nothing to do with coding!

Actually, it's mostly Panels UI where you have to have some knowledge of the scripting format to get around . The rest of foobar is fairly easy to understand (for me at least). But we all need help sometimes, so I did a little walkthrough for you to follow :

First, go into foobar prefrences > Panels UI > Sort/Group and click the "New" button on the far right:
.

EDIT: dRsrb beat me to the image walkthrough lol.

Thank you (both), you're very kind to take the time and put it in images for the noob
The first time I tried it I just typed in %bitrate% without the "__". It works now, although it puts the VBR files a bit everywhere, but that's not a big deal. I'm mostly trying to find all the <192kbps albums (sorting through 9000 files is not that pleasant). foobar (to me) is like the linux of audio players. It can do almost anything, if you know how to make it so (which isn't something everyone can do).

Thank you once again .
