Yeah, this is definitely something we are thinking about.
There's a bunch of odd sub-effects floating around, though. What if
while looking at tag X, you you put link A below link B. Then look at
tag Y, which also contains links A and B. What's the expected ordering?
Perhaps I we should just let people star items? It'd certainly be a
simpler UI... I've always been against it, though; why bookmark a bad
item? I dunno.

I'm not interested in alpha sorting particularly but do think there is
something exciting about being able to publish a list of links sorted
by their importance/value to me rather than just when I added them to
del.icio.us. If it was possible to arbitrarlily sort my links within a
tag listing (so that that order is retained when I and others view the
listing) it would be particularly valuable for me and potentially for
others and del.licio.us. It's an addition to del.licio.us' data set:
not only did lots of people add this link but some of them bumped it
up to the top of their list of links for this tag & for me I'm now
publishing my opinion of the relative value of a link not just the
fact that I discovered it/liked it & thought it was related to a
topic/tag.
Of course its not obvious to me how to reconcile this with the
beauty/simplicity of the current model where new good stuff takes
priority and can be subscribed to via rss.
