Song metadata not updated when sorting

I have updated all my songs metadata with MixInKey tool. The songs are correctly saved in my Itunes Music library but aren't updated/used for sorting :( It is only when I play the song or check the song info that the metadata (such as for Grouping or Genre) are used for sorting and then appear correctly in the Library > Songs columns.

MacBook Air, macOS 15.3

Hi,

When using external apps to change metadata, you need to select the individual tracks to pick up the changes that you made.

Thank you Jim, Indeed and because I had updated 200++ tracks, I read in an other forum that I just needed to select all tracks, and modify a field I didn't use such as composer to have all the tracks updated with the metadata from the other app
