Created attachment 104549 [details] Adding emphasis on where the problem is. The tag-values in the "Information Panel" of Dolphin appear in the order they were inserted. They would be way more useful if they were sorted alphabetically. As it is now, if a file contains many tag-values, it is very difficult for the user to spot the one he wants to click on. Here's something I noticed that might help: When a tag is added to a file then for a small period of time the tag-values in the Information Panel are sorted alphabetically. But when I refresh the window, then they become unsorted again.
Git commit 65467d80198b222e4f01b40004a73f888fb5a82b by Elvis Angelaccio, on behalf of Athanasios Kanellopoulos. Committed on 29/04/2017 at 10:59. Pushed by elvisangelaccio into branch 'Applications/17.04'. Sort the tag-values alphabetically in the "Tags" column Up until now tag-values have appeared unsorted in the Tags column when the selected View Mode is "Details". In older versions of Dolphin (in KDE4) the tags-values were alphabetically sorted in the Tags column, which means that back then this was the desired behavior. This commit restores this functionality.

The above commit "65467d8019" seems to fix a similar problem (alphabetical tag-values sorting in the "Tags" column), but it is not exactly the same problem we are discussing here. The bug I opened here is regarding the tag-values in the "Information Panel" of Dolphin. Please check the attachment screenshot. I will set the status for this bug, back to "UNCONFIRMED" since it is not yet resolved.
Oh you are right, sorry. Now I remember why I had moved this report to baloowidgets ;)
