I've just created a new Tag Domain, RAF Ranks, and to keep them in rank order, I put numbers at the front of the tag.

Tag Name >>> Abbreviation
01 Leading Aircraftman >>> LAC
02 Senior Aircraftman >>> SAC
03 Senior Aircraftman (Technician) >>> SAC Tech

...

21 Air Marshal >>> Air Mshl
22 Air Chief Marshal >>> Air Chf Mshl
23 Marshal of the Royal Air Force >>> MRAF


It's not the most elegant of solutions, but it will work, and when (if) sorting of tags is available, the numbers can be deleted.

Actually, that has given me an idea for a solution, another field for tags, sort order.


Tag Name >>> Abbreviation >>> Sort Order
Leading Aircraftman >>> LAC >>> 1
Senior Aircraftman >>> SAC >>> 2
Senior Aircraftman (Technician) >>> SAC Tech >>> 3

...

Air Marshal >>> Air Mshl >>> 21
Air Chief Marshal >>> Air Chf Mshl >>> 22
Marshal of the Royal Air Force >>> MRAF >>> 23
