If 43 Things uses tags to match goals, alphabetizing the tag list will be useful for a “first pass” comparison, but the original tag list order/sequence must be preserved because it should represent the relative importance of each tag. The first tag being the most important and the last being the least important.

If Joe’s tag list says “a,b,c,d” it will perfectly match Frank’s tag list of “a,b,c,d”, and almost perfectly match Jim’s tag list of “c,b,a,d”.

Tag sequence will be important!
