Bug Description
Mahara 1.7+
The process of creating and managing collection of pages is somewhat complicated - and puts limits on real world requirements by the fact that pages can only be added to one collection.
Could the collection system be extended to allow the creation of collections based on one or more tags?
We can already add tags to pages so we are half way along this path. The ability to create a collection tagged with "Professional Development Activity" and "Professional Development and Review" and "2013" would be very powerful - especially since any other pages I create and tag in this way will "just appear" in that collection without any further action.
The ability to re-order would be important, in fact the existing collection workflow could remain largely unchanged - it's just that there would be an alternative to individually adding pages called "Add pages by tag". The user may have to come back to this screen to re-order pages that are added over time.
Cheers.
Shane.

This wishlist item would incorporate the other wishlist item that a page can be in more than one collection. Cheers.
