Can't change tag order

[iberger]

Am using latest 64-bit SM on a new PC.

Used Preferences to add tags, set tag colors, and set tag order. I click OK, and tag names and colors are then set--but tag order changes. (e.g., Important goes from #1 to # 6). The first several times I tried, the list I saw when I opened Preferences/Tags had the wrong order--now it's correct, but the keystroke numbers still don't match the right order.

How do I fix this?

type about:config in the address bar
click ok on the silly warning
in the search bar type mailnews.tags
the default usage is:
preference value
mailnews.tags.$label1.color;#FF0000
mailnews.tags.$label1.tag;Important
mailnews.tags.$label2.color;#FF9900
mailnews.tags.$label2.tag;Work
mailnews.tags.$label3.color;#009900
mailnews.tags.$label3.tag;Personal
mailnews.tags.$label4.color;#3333FF
mailnews.tags.$label4.tag;To Do
mailnews.tags.$label5.color;#993399
mailnews.tags.$label5.tag;Later
mailnews.tags.version;2
This is from my mail profile's pref.js
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label1.color", "#996633");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label1.tag", "ad");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label2.color", "#993399");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label2.tag", "print");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label3.color", "#006600");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label3.tag", "printed");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label4.color", "#3333FF");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label4.tag", "To Do");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label5.color", "#33CC00");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label5.tag", "personal");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.important.color", "#FF0000");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.important.tag", "important");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.no_follow.color", "#cc9933");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.no_follow.ordinal", "t");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.no_follow.tag", "no follow");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.software.color", "#009900");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.software.tag", "software");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.spamoroffensive.color", "#FFFF66");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.spamoroffensive.tag", "spamORoffensive");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.version", 2);
user_pref("mailnews.tags.work.color", "#FF6600");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.work.tag", "work");

Click on the preference you want to change.
Click on modify
Then you can change the value of that preference
