I beg to differ. I think chronological order makes much more sense for
tags: it's like a log operation, where only the "tag: " lines are shown.
Plus for most cases, given the names people normally use, it'll be
pretty much the same as lexicographical order, except that it will get
foo-0.1, foo-0.2 and foo-0.10 right.

I would very much welcome opinions of the rest of the crew.

Cheers,
