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.

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 ;)
