Tags aren't alphabetised

[31337-4554551n]

This issue respects the following points:

• I have read the FAQ
• I have searched for existing issues
• The issue affects the Deck Android app, neither the Deck server app nor the Nextcloud Android app.

Describe the bug

1. Either click the filter list to search by tag, OR click a card and try to add a tag to it
2. See the tags are in a random order

Expected behavior

Tags to appear in alphabetical order, like they do in the Nextcloud WebUI

They are not in random order, they are sorted by how often they are used (by intention).

Is it possible to perhaps provide an option for alphabetical functionality so that it can work the way it is in deck webui?

When you're dealing with a large list of tags, constantly having to scroll around looking for the tag (on a mobile device) can be challenging and frustrating.

I've also labled this as a bug, perhaps I need to change it to enhancement now, since it's by design?
For the request to add an alphabetical option

[stefan-niedermann]

Alright, I thought about it and an alphabetical order makes more sense than the current implementation.

@desperateCoder would you mind changing the aort order of tag proposals? Not sure how assignees are currently handled, but I think they are also sorted by count. Maybe we should adjist that too and always filter by display name.

Just to push my luck a little while we're digging around the tag code:

Would it be possible to add a feature for and-ing tags on the filter search? (rather than just or-ING them)

So if you have for example a "todo" tag and a "software" tag. Looking for todo and software gives you cards that only have both, not all todos and all software.

Or for my case, if I am filtering for "butter chicken" and ".buy" (. For alphabetising) and "Costco" tags while at Costco it'll show me the missing ingredients for butter chicken that I buy from Costco 😂 (rather than everything that can be baught at Costco and everything I need and everything in butter chicken all at once)

Should I make a new request, or is that not technically possible? (because the desktop app doesn't have it.)

You can open a new issue if you want, but we will likely not implement it until the Deck server app has implemented it.
