I agree. Unless tags are sorted by name, and especially if you have a lot of tags, it becomes tricky to find the tag you’re looking for

Tags are currently automatically arranged by the number of notes that contain it. It would be brilliant if you could toggle them being arranged alphabetically, as it is currently hard to access certain topics via a relevant tag as I have no idea where on the tags column it is going to be

Thanks :slight_smile:

Much agreed with everyone on this. I am imagining an Obsidian world where my tags are able to be sorted manually, alphabetically, by folder, by colour…

I’m wondering if this feature is being worked on. I don’t see it mentioned in the roadmap (Trello). But it may be too small to be mentioned there? This is my last remaining wish-list for Obsidian.

I think this problem also can be solved by adding a feature that can search for a tag.

You can search tags with tag:#<your tag name>.

@RalfW I don’t think this was ever answered sufficiently by Obsidian devs (or affiliates) so I’m looking for a reply from them and bumping this up.

+1. For me personally, the absence of such sorting causes a lot of inconvenience.

#16

+1 long awaited feature

#17

Starting to get more into using tags and couldn’t find the option to toggle them to alphabetical. A search led me to this post. Putting my +1 on this feature. Sometimes I’d use them sorted by number of references so a toggle option would be my preference.

And I suppose, while we’re looking for better ways of managing large numbers of tags, nested tags should be in the frame.

I want this feature too

Hi!

I was just looking for the same feature today!
So… totally agree: ordering the tag pane by name would be a great (and I would they rather logic and basic) feature.

Would love to see this feature in the future!

I need to find words which are typographical error or similar word.
so, I need to take a swich for smallest first.

#22

+1 This would be a dramatic improvement

@andypassion, I may have asked @Licat or @Silver about this quite some time ago. With my vault growing exponentially tags/tag sort lexicographical vs number of uses is starting to keep me up nights trying to figure out how to not use tags I’ve used since wikidpad first came out.

In the meantime, I’ve discovered that a handy quick way to view my tags in alphabetical order is to open 1Writer on iOS, which displays tags alphabetically.

Can anyone explain what is so difficult about providing this feature request?
