**Issue #1:** On the "tags" tab, there's an option to sort by hierarchy. As it stands, what that sort view _actually_ does is sort alphabetically by parent title. (For this point alone I've added the [bug] tag on the grounds that this may have simply been mislabeled.)**Issue #2:** When viewing a tag, the only way AFAICT to view all of its child tags is a non-so-obvious (to me) link under the tag name.# Proposal.1. Rename the current hierarchy sort "alphabetical."2. Create a new sort by hierarchy, which only displays top-level parent tags.3. Upon clicking on a tag, list all of the child tags at the top of the page, under the tag wiki and above the post list; only display "view child tags" as a link following this list, and only when the list exceeds a certain amount of tags (ex. nine tags = three lines; once there's ten tags, display just the first eight plus a link for "view all child tags").
- **Issue #1:** On the "tags" tab, there's an option to sort by hierarchy. When you have a lot of child tags under the same parent tag, or multiple parents next to each other with lots of children, things get...confusing. Especially when they have grandchildren and in-laws.

- **Proposal.** On the "hierarchy" sort, only show the top-level tags. Next to each tag with children, add a button which toggles displaying that tag's children or hiding them.

- 2. Create a new sort by hierarchy, which only displays top-level parent tags.
3. Upon clicking on a tag, next to the "Tag Only" and "Tag + Children" views, create a third tab for "View Child Tags," or else list all of the child tags at the top of the page, under the tag wiki and above the post list.

Feature requests for tag filtering and sorting
