I had hypothesized that time series are ordered by name first and then ordered by the tags hash key using the HashKey() method in models/points.go.
To test my hypothesis, I used tag foo=hello.there on one time series and tag foo=hello there on another and named the time series the same. The time series with tag foo=hello.there appeared after the one with tag foo=hello there. Since the HashKey() function escapes the ' ' with '\ ', I would have expected 'hello there' to come after 'hello.there' not before.
