Finally got it to work. The tiddler titled $:/config/TagsOrder (and also
tagged $:/config/TagsOrder) had to have each tag incased in [[*]] notation
and line separated
[[Tag]]
[[Another Tag]]
[[An Yet Another]]
I don't know why it wouldn't work otherwise. I wish there was a way to set
tag precedence rather than have to arrange ALL tiddlers. I did appreciate
Eric's button code which pulled in all the tiddlers, though! :)
