Description:
The "tags" for bugs are sorted in random order when bugs are displayed. This causes strange "progress logs" for bugs, like this:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=40459&log=1

In my second edit from [2 Dec 18:40], it looks as the tags were modified, when actually they were not. The corresponding bug email contained this:

 OS:              Any
-Tags:            sporadic, pushbuild, test failure, rpl_ndb_denote_gap,
                  Lost connection, 6.0-rpl-green
+Tags:            6.0-rpl-green, Lost connection, rpl_ndb_denote_gap,
                  test failure, pushbuild, sporadic
 Target Version:  6.0

The email did not show the real change (which was that a reviewer had been changed).

How to repeat:
Update a bug, then view progress log. See examples above.

Suggested fix:
Add ORDER BY clause when listing tags?

Fixed (ORDER BY clause added). 
Thanks Sven!
