Always sort tag suggestions alphabetically, instead of by search weight

Use case or problem

When you are trying to look for a specific tag suggestion within the popup but can’t find it because they aren’t in alphabetical order.

Proposed solution

If there were an option to enable alphabetical tag suggestions, it would make life easier. This should also apply to nested tags.

Thanks!

Are you saying it’s not alphabetical now? I’m not seeing that. The list is always alphabetically sorted for me. After you start typing, the suggestions are sorted by “weight” which ranks better matches to the top. Is the issue only once you start searching? Can you provide more info and maybe a screenshot?

Thanks for asking. Now I understand why my previous requests were closed. What I am requesting is an option to have the suggestions as you type be shown alphabetically rather than by weight. With this option enabled, if there are no exact matches to what you type, the best matches could be sorted by weight instead.
