Hi there. Do you know if filing/segregating tags is possible? If I make new ones, they appear at the end or, like I've noticed, among the old ones. You might find my question a bit weird, but I would like to put my tags in order. Especially because each tag has its own number, and you can pin them to e-mails only by using a numeric keypad. If I filed tags by my order, it would be easier for me to remember their numbering. This addition would be a lot easier than deleting all of my tags and then adding them again.

Best Regards Damian

Tags certainly do have a number. The shortcut key assigned to them in the menu. Many IMAP servers only support the first 9 tags. So often editing them is the best way forward.

As for ordering or sorting them. I think you are out of luck. There are some tag releated addons, I suggest you go to the addon manager on the Tools menu and search the word tag. Perhaps one of those will do what you want. My understanding is that a dedicated tag sorting addon was last around in Version 38.
