my tags are not showing up in alphabetical order

more options

Hi! I've created a series of about 30 tags to help me organize my email, and they are not showing up in alphabetical order (neither on the 'tags' list nor on the list under 'settings-general preferences'). Nor does there seem to be a way to drag/drop them or move them up/down into a custom order on that 'general preferences' list where you can create/edit them in the above-mentioned 'settings'.

This is creating a huge problem for me.

I found some info that said something about TB creating the first 6 tags with numbers, and tags created after those automatically show up in alphabetical order. This does not seem to be true.

Then I found this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1336633 and tried the suggested add-on, and although it did allow me to create 'categories', it did not solve the initial problem and just added confusion to what I'm simply already trying to do.

I am using TB version 102.4.0

Advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, in my case, tags keep disappearing every time I set them now. After about three times attempting to get them to stay, they finally stick. This never happened in previous versions. I also have version 102.4.0. I'm guessing there is a glitch with this particular version.
