Set selected tracks' sorting tags

This script will allow you to batch-set the sorting tags ("Sort Name", "Sort Artist", "Sort Album Artist", "Sort Album", "Sort Composer", "Sort Show") of the selected tracks, rather than manually doing so one track at a time or globally using "Apply Sort Field". Requires iTunes 7.1 or better.

Designated as a Retro Script because iTunes multi-edit dialog now includes sort tags.

OBLIGATORY WARNING! Because this script has been designated as a "Retro Script" there is no guarantee that it will function as described and may even corrupt or destroy data.
