NetBox Version

v4.4.0 (Docker-3.4.0)

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

Create tags with varying weights

Add those tags to given objects

Create a table config sorting by tags (as sorting is not possible through the table UI directly)

Return to the given table (here, prefixes) and observe that, alas! The tags are instead ordered alphabetically, and not by weight

BONUS BUG - if one returns to the table config, and instead orders the tags reverse alphabetically, this does not reverse the order in the table

Expected Behavior

I would expect that the tags would be ordered by weight.

The API does actually handle this correctly - with a request of http://localhost:8000/api/ipam/prefixes/?ordering=tags the order goes RFC 1918 -> ULA -> GUA (and if reversed with -tags, correctly orders GUA -> ULA -> RFC 1918)

Observed Behavior

The tags are ordered alphabetically. Additionally, they do not order reverse alphabetically if -tags is supplied in the table config.
