Sorting tags in finder in alphabetic order

I found that in the finder window, I could manually move the tags with my mouse and sort them. Is there a faster way to do this?

You can also rearrange them in the Finder Preferences > Tags panel. There are no other means to order these tags than the Finder sidebar or in the preceding tags preference settings.
