I think having alphabetically ordered tags looks simple to
understand and is simple from an implementation point of view. I
don't think that it is worth the effort to clutter the tag
namespace with order files. If prepending a number looks
awkward, what about using 'browse' instead of 'web' that 'dev'
appears after 'browse'...
