Comment 12 for bug 1948560

I think we have arrived at option 3: do nothing. With this option the behavior might be weird but it is explainable and consistent. Numbers sort in numeric order no matter where they appear in the item. First letters follow the sort order. '2' is less than '10' so it shows first.

If we change the sort for the categories then the order in the categories won't match the order in the books list, which isn't good. If we try heuristics such as don't use numeric_sort in names then things could go inconsistent quickly with strange sorts in different cases.

The question "What is the sort order for these items?" supports option 3.
- 10 Angry Men
- 2 Angry Men
- The 10 Angry Men
- The 2 Angry Men

With numeric_sort in play we would see in the book list
- 2 Angry Men
- 10 Angry Men
- The 2 Angry Men
- The 10 Angry Men

Without it we would see in the book list:
- 10 Angry Men
- 2 Angry Men
- The 10 Angry Men
- The 2 Angry Men

Which is right is in the eye of the beholder. Regardless, I think that the tag browser should show items in the same order as the book list.
