Ordering of Tags display

The saved and displayed order of Tags for an item appears to be based on an alphanumeric sort.

It would be nice to have the option be able to specify/configure the ordering of tags for an item and display the tags for that item in the front end in the order specified/configured.

When I configure tags for an item, they are first shown in the order I enter them, but when I save the item, the tags are sorted in alphanumeric ordering

For a project I am working on, some tags will have more significance or relevance depending on the item. It would be nice to be able to display more relevant tags before less relevant tags.

For example:
I may have the tags:
Car
Truck
Bus
New
Used
V8 Engine
6 cylinder engine

If I configure an item with the tags by entering them in the order;
Truck
New
6 cylinder engine

then the item is saved (and displayed in the front end) with the tags in the order;
6 cylinder engine
New
Truck

I would like the order to be;
Truck
New
6 cylinder engine

I am using the above as an example only.
Obviously, in this example it may be more appropriate to manage this type of information using fields and/or categories.

Thank you.

Hello

in v2.2.0 we added sortable elements for filters and want to allow this in other areas that it will be useful

e.g.
configuration: fields selection parameters
item form: tags selection

but this is planned after v2.2.0 release, so i am not sure if it will be in time for your project

PS FLEXIcontent tags data will be automatically imported into new joomla tag system in next version, so everything that new Joomla tags system supports, will also be supported by FLEXIcontent


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
