DefineByte:
It's the performer sort order frame in ID3v2.4. It's used instead of the performer tag for sorting (if you so desire).

Llorean:
Sorry, I'm using it as shorthand to mean "TSOP and other equivalent tags."

Basically, TSOP, TSOA, TSOT for ID3v2.4, and a variety of other tags in other standards that perform indentical function. Basically, if you want to display one name for the Artist, Album, or Title, but want it to be in a place in the sort order that is different from where the display name is, you would write something different in the sort-order tag than what is displayed, and whatever program is sorting puts it in the place appropriate to the TSO tag rather than the normal tag.

Mikerman:
Ah, got it--like a tag which could result in the beginning "The" to appear in the title display list, but alphabetize according to the next word.

Llorean:
Basically, for Artist, Album, and Title, there are two tags. One to show, and one to use when sorting.

You'd show "The Beatles", but the sorting tag would have in it "Beatles, The" instead.
