    Does anyone know of the way to reorder tags? It is pure cosmetic but sometimes it bugs me that I have a LARGE number of tags and no way to sort them, let's say, alphabetically or reorder them the way I want.

    You can delete individual entries in the array, so you can use that to sort tags...not ideal, but better than nothing. (e.g., if you had tags in the order "C", "A", and "B", then you would delete "C" and add it to the end.)

    I guess, next game I will have to be careful with this from the start. Currently sorting 30+ tags with the above method doesn't really appeal. :)

    There should be an option to do this, I know I am 5 years late but oh well.

    In your <YourUnityProjectFolder>/ProjectSettings/TagManager.asset you can make the changes more comfortable with this TagManager.asset file for Tags, Layers and SortingLayers.

    Note:

    • close unity while making this changes
    • make a back up of this file before OR have your project under version control (git, etc.)
    • check all your gameobject and prefabs in your project after your done with the changes (layer based collision matrix, etc. )
