Sort labels by name #1700

Description

Labels/tags are shown in the order they were created, which has no relation whatsoever with their meaning. Meanwhile, the size of them may well grow with time. Once there are enough of them, they usually get some kind of organization through their appearance: same color for related labels. As their order cannot be changed, it becomes uncomfortably difficult to see their organization due to the randomly different colors.

I would like having a way to sort the labels, at best through drag and drop.

An alphabetic ordering is probably very easy to implement as a first step and would help a little, although it has the danger of people starting to write things like "1-Customer name" that is why it should not be the end of the story.
