Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This is a feature request: now when i create a new article in backend and want to assign tags they come in ID ordered list.

Describe the solution you'd like

If you have a lot of tags and don't remember all of them a list in alphabetical order is much easier to use than a "random" list (ordered by ID all tags seems randomized).
Of course you can start type the tag and Chosen finds it for you, but i think that alphabetical order is better for user experience.

Additional context

Example:

ID 1 - Example Tag
ID 2 - Another Example Tag
ID 3 - Beautiful Tag

While I would like them displayed as:

ID 2 - Another Example Tag
ID 3 - Beautiful Tag
ID 1 - Example Tag

Thank you

a "random" list (ordered by ID

As far as I understand they aren't ordered by id but are ordered in the chosen field like I order them in com_tags. I think that's the best solution and shouldn't be changed.

You are right, I can manually order them. But if you have lots of tags it would be a nightmare to order them manually. Maybe the option to choose which order use would be a great plus. Thank you anyway.

The best option here isn’t to add more config options but actually add a sort feature into the list view and then save order I believe would be the best solution.

It has to be by "order" because of the possibility of nested tags. If you alphaorder it, that could get tricky.

The field has a good filter. Once you start typing the list is reduced to matching results. So it's not hard to find a tag even if it's not alphaordered.
