Hi,
How can I change the order for roksprocket tags?
For now, they are appearing in the order they are mentioned in the backend, but this is not a solution as many times there needs to be certain order for the actual articles (i.e. alpabetical), and maybe the tags (women, men, monday, sunday.. etc) might not correspond to that.
I know this has been questined by many others in the past in many threads, but all of them were quite old (2 months to 1 year or more) and none of them had answers. So I am sorry to put up question about this once again, but maybe it has been already implemented or I missed the one thread having the answer. If it is not yet implemented, is there any estimate when it would be, or which file I need to edit myself to make custom solution?
Thanks in advance!

- I am afraid that this hasn't been implemented and I am not even sure if this will be implemented. The thing is that tags are loaded dynamically during the module initialization and it would require additional SQL queries which would slow down the module initialization and which would in the end slow things down dramatically. Never the less, you are welcome to open a request in our Requests forum for this to be implemented so devs can spot it and decide if this will be implemented in the future

Thanks Igor for clear answer. I will put up a request as you suggested, or contribute if there is already one.
Meanwhile, if you or someone else has information about what file to change to make it happen myself, it would be nice. As sometimes the performance is not a problem (i.e. low traffic site with visitors of high speed internet controversins the time going for additional SQL), or the amount of tags to be ordered is quite small so that it could be quickly "manually switched" at the time of echoing it to user, without need of adding more SQL queries.
I think this info could help many with need to change that order even if it was not/would not be implemented.
Thanks again in advance for any additional info!

- I am afraid that I am not the developer and as far as I know, this implementation would require complete internal rewriting so I can't help you by providing the exact files which you would need to change
