Sort view on first tag
This could make it possible to sort thoughts on date, without having to have the data name in the thought.
There is no concept of “first” for tags, for the same reason that links are unsorted, so this is really not feasible.

I'm not saying there is not a need for sorting thoughts by date, just that this doesn't seem to be the most efficient way to do it.

It just seems that your list of tags would be unmanagably long if you are entering dates as tags. I would much rather see this functionality implemented with the calendar/events. You would also be adding extra processing by sorting all of the tags assigned to a thought and then sorting all of the thoughts based on a selection of the "first" tag.

If I have two Tags: "2008-12-02" and "To-Do", the date will be sorted as the first tag in the list. If I then could sort the thoughts on the first tag in the list it would be useful.

I'm not quite getting this... Are you saying you would create a separate tag for every date? Tags do not have a defined order to them, so I'm still not sure what you mean by the "first" tag.

I mean the first tag in a list of tags for a thought. The first tag could then be a date.

How do you know which tag is the "first" tag?
