Can we get a page with the tags listed in hierarchical and then alphabetical order?

The hierarchies of tags are awesome, but its a little hard to see the relationship. Could we get a page where the tags are displayed like this,

  • Animals
    • Antelopes
    • Bears
      • Black Bears
      • Polar Bears
    • Birds
      • Bald Eagles
      • Robins
    • Bugs
      • Cicadas
    • Deer
    • Elk

From the top-level to child, and then alphabetized inside their category. This would make it a lot easier to ensure that the tags are grouped how I want them.

Much clearer, thank you.

I'll need to have a look at this one... The problem is that MySQL (well, relational databases in general) don't handle tree structures well at all. If there's a way that's been put in to do this, then I might be able to, but... I wouldn't like to get anyone's hopes up.

@ArtOfCode I don't think such a list needs to update in real time. Tag relationships probably wouldn't be changed all that often, so to batch-generate the data or even the whole page for something like this should be workable. O'Reilly's SQL Cookbook has a recipe that comes awful close to doing what this question suggests, with MySQL syntax. "Creating a Hierarchial View of a Table". The problem statement there: "you want to return a result set that describes the hierarchy of an entire table".
