Arranging Tag Order

It would be really helpful if we could reorder tags. We've been creating them as needed and now there are quite a few and they're difficult to scan for, so an option for alphabetical ordering or manual rearranging would be helpful.

Hey folks, we just pushed an update so that tags are sorted alphabetically by default. I've created a new post for the new (more scalable) design so feel free to vote there if you feel strongly.
Thank you all for helping us improve Canny! Special thanks to White Ferret for pushing on alphabetical. We totally agree.

Pulling this out of the design archives! We can definitely see how the current design isn't scalable for teams using tags heavily. Feel free to add your thoughts.

Sarah Hum: Thanks -- interesting option. For an MVP though, why not simply arrange tags in alpha order when displaying them?
That way, users can more easily visually locate the one they know they want to select, as opposed to having to scan up and down in a list that currently seems to lack any visually-perceptible order. This would be much easier for you to accomplish and I'd bet would satisfy 95%+ of your customers.
The other 5%, who have more than a dozen or so tags definitely have a different problem, which requires a more robust solution, such as the one presented here, which I'd propose only really needs to show up when the tag volume exceeds some threshold.

Can't agree more -- this is a much-needed feature for teams with 10+ tags.
