Hey All,
We use an Umbraco Tags property on Blog / Cases / Services type pages in Umbraco.
We've had a request to make the order of the output of those tags "User defined".
Is there any pre-existing package or data type that can facilitate altering the order in which the tags are stored / outputted when called?

Honestly, anything "repeating" and "User defined order", immediately makes me turn to blocklist

Though I'm guessing you also want to have the convenience of the tags property with autocomplete and insight in all the available tags, which the blocklist doesn't really provide for

We usually define tags inside a data folder and just make a content picker to pick from existing tags

Yeah my first thought was something like a modified block list data type that used the JSON or CSV of an Umbraco Tag property to populate itself.
But indeed, the extra bits of tags as you mention were the "needed bits"
I think I may have found a solution using Lee's Contentment package with a Custom Data list, using the tag group as a source, and then using the "Data picker" interface to select the order.
It definitely works, its not glamorous but it gets the job done
