How to keep Tags in order they are typed?

Is it just me or does this happen to everyone, lol? When I carefully type my Tags in the order I want them and then click on Add, they appear in random order, which is really annoying and not useful. Also, if I copy and paste a batch of Tags from flickr and paste with a photo here, the Tags get rearranged. Is there a way to change some setting somewhere, that I have missed? Does anyone know how to solve this - would be great if someone does : ) Thanks, everyone! Oh, and on ipernity, if you want to change a particular tag, is there any way to go into the tags for a photo and make that change, such as a spelling error? In Flickr, you can simply go to Edit titles, tags, etc..

It's not just you! Happens to me all the time. I thought I had it figured out by placing a set of tags, saving, and then placing the next set etc., but it doesn't always work. As for correcting tags, I simply erase the mistakes by clicking on the red 'x' next to the tag and simply re-thumb it. (I do this a lot btw...big thumbs). I think that the program wants to make the list look neat and orderly and arranges the tags with this in mind. Just one of those little things we have to get used to I guess. Have you tried sending them a help request? They are VERY fast to respond.

I don't know how to amend a keyword Anne but you can delete it. go to the image and scan down right to keywords. You can hover over the x by the side and delete the keyword. does this help?

Thanks, both of you. Yes, I do delete sometimes, but then I lose the order in which i want my tags to appear. Sure, I can start all over again, but just don't have the time to do that : ) I e-mailed the staff a few days ago, but I've not heard back from them.

Thanks, Fran! I agree, it is a small thing, but tags are important. If you edit your tags in Flickr, copy and paste them here, what an almighty jumble! I have a certain order that I like my tags, but so often I don't bother to add any tags here, it's such a pain. You would think it would be a very simple thing to do, to add an editing capabilty, like on Flickr. I never heard back from staff here about it.
