How can I change the order of tags in Thunderbird. I want to add a new tag but when I do it's being added before the last so this changes the shortcut of my following tag while assigning to this new tag the shortcut of the previous tag.

Is there a way to just change the order of tags without messing up the tags already applied to my messages? The answers I found for this didn't work for me. Such a simple thing... At least if the new tag was added at the end of the list that would work for me but it's being added before the last. Humm...

Thanks!

re : I want to add a new tag but when I do it's being added before the last

What method are you using ? Are you creating a Tag in 'Settings > General > Tags section ? Or via Menu Bar - 'Message' > 'Tag' > 'New Tag' Or right click on email and choose 'Tags' > 'New Tag'

Please check - does issue occur no matter what method you use ?

How many tags have you got in the List? Post an image showing all the Tags in List.

re :The answers I found for this didn't work for me. What answers are you talking about ?

What version of Thunderbird are you using ? Help > About Thunderbird has this info. What OS are you using ? eg: Windows 10, MAC, Linux etc

Both methods you describe yield the same result. There doesn't seem to be a way to change the order of existing tags in TB. There are various conversations on the web on this topic but no real solution. I tried the one described on tis page https://superuser.com/questions/1543390/how-do-i-reorder-tags-in-thunderbird but it removed all my applied tags so this is not the solution I was looking for.

I change the order of tags this way:

- create the tag(s)

- go to TB menu > Settings > General

- scroll all the way down > click the 'Config editor' button

- accept risk and proceed

- search for: tags

In the list that appears, I rename the tag and color entries alphabetically, in the order I want the tags. e.g.,

mailnews.tags.$label1.color #CC0000 mailnews.tags.$label1.tag Important

mailnews.tags.financial.color #009900 mailnews.tags.financial.tag Financial

mailnews.tags.nappointment.color #800080 mailnews.tags.nappointment.tag Appointment

mailnews.tags.scoupon.color #996633 mailnews.tags.scoupon.tag Coupon

mailnews.tags.to_do.color #2d2dff mailnews.tags.to_do.tag
