The documentation refers to the order of "tagged tiddlers"... not the order
of the tags themselves. Thus, if you have three tiddlers, "foo", "bar",
and "baz", all tagged with "A", you can create a tiddler named "A", in
which you define a field named "list", with a value of "baz foo bar".
Then, if you view any of those tiddlers and click on the tag pill labeled
"A", you will see a droplist showing the *tagged* tiddlers in the order,
"baz, foo, bar"
Of course, this is not what you are asking for.
The display of the tags themselves is defined
here: $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags, which contains:
<$reveal type="nomatch" stateTitle=<<folded-state>> text="hide" tag="div"
retain="yes" animate="yes">
<div class="tc-tags-wrapper"><$list
filter="[all[current]tags[]sort[title]]" template="$:/core/ui/TagTemplate"
storyview="pop"/></div>
</$reveal>
As you can see, the $list filter definition used here includes
"sort[title]". Thus, the names of the tags are always sorted
alphabetically.
To apply a custom sort order to the tag names, you will need to modify
$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags, like this:
<$reveal type="nomatch" stateTitle=<<folded-state>> text="hide" tag="div"
retain="yes" animate="yes">
<div class="tc-tags-wrapper">
<$list filter="[all[current]tags[]] +[enlist{MyTagOrder}]"
template="$:/core/ui/TagTemplate" storyview="pop"/>
<$list filter="[all[current]tags[]] -[enlist{MyTagOrder}]
+[sort[title]]" template="$:/core/ui/TagTemplate" storyview="pop"/>
</div>
</$reveal>
Then, define a tiddler named "MyTagOrder", containing the names of the tags
you want to have listed in a specific order.
For example, suppose you tag a tiddler with the following tags:
foo bar baz A B C
Then, using the standard tag display code, the tags would appear, sorted by
title, as:
A B bar baz C foo
and, if you define MyTagOrder containing:
foo bar
then, using the modified tag display code, the tags would appear this would
appear as:
foo bar A B baz C
