Tag Autocomplete Sort Order

There doesn’t appear to be any discernable sort order in the Tag Autocomplete pop-up. Its not sorting alphabetically, by recency or popularity… Any one of these (or being able to select between them) would be preferable.

ok, there’s not a simple ordering to generate suggestions. It’s a mix of different search criteria and weights to mix everything into one list.

An improved algorithm for the suggestions is in the pipeline (no ETA).

Glad to hear that an improvement is in the works though.

Is this still in the works? Currently on 0.10.8 and the ordering in the tags popup menu seems totally random.

My previous post above was before I knew how to link properly. Here it is:
