1. Tag some pages, using tags in non-alphabetic order.
2. Open the Places Organizer.
3. Look at the left pane.

Actual results:
Tags in the left pane are sorted by their creation or a similar time.
There seems to be no way to sort them alphabetically.

Expected results:
It should be possible to sort tags alphabetically; I think it would be logical to do so by default.

I would actually expect them to always be in alphabetical order. Blocking for now, but low priority.

could be fixed by patch in bug 419731 if accepted.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
