I love Musicbee, and have been a huge fan of it for awhile. But this latest update has broken the auto-organization settings (Edit -> Preferences -> Library -> Auto-Organize Media Files -> Organization). Whenever I try to set new rules for a drive in auto-organize and then hit "Proceed", the program immediately hangs indefinitely. A quick check of Task Manager shows the program isn't using any CPU or RAM after this happens, so I'm fairly confident this is causing the program to soft-lock somehow.

Has anyone else had this issue? For reference, I'm running:
-Windows 10, version 1803
-Intel Core i7 3930K @ 4.4GHz
-32.0GB DDR3 @ 666MHz
-ASUS RAMPAGE IV FORMULA Motherboard
-Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers

Thank you for the prompt reply, Steven! I did go ahead and install the Musicbee 3.2 patch that you provided, but I am still having the issue. Instead of hanging, the program is now just freezing proper and must be force-quit to close. Would an issue with the hard disk where the music is installed cause an issue like this, to your knowledge?

i am not aware of anyone reporting this issue.
I suggest you try v3.2:

D'oh. Okay, I think I figured it out. So it was crashing because I forgot to define a sorting order (e.g., <Album Artist> <Album> <Track> etc.) for the moved files. Ugh--I feel like a jackass. But it does give me an idea for a future update: perhaps adding a default sorting order if none is specified/the field is left blank? A small but nice quality of life change.
