Questions about Tags and sorting

My first question is how exactly does Calibre sort the Tags? By that I mean, when in the book list and you click the head of the Tags column what method does it use to sort them because it's not really apparent to me. This is how it sorts the first 24 books in my Library when it's set to ascending sort:

{blank/no tag}
Catalog
Cover
1Sigil, Cover, Gen CSIMiami
Cover, Gen BTVS/HP Crossover
Cover, Slash WC-SPN Crossover
Cover, Gen Harry Potter AU, Has Chapters
Cover, Gen Harry Potter Crossover, Gen HP/SG1 Crossover, Has Chapters
Cover, Gen Harry Potter Crossover, Gen NCIS Crossover, Has Chapters
Cover, Gen Harry Potter Crossover, Gen HP/NCIS Crossover, Gen NCIS Crossover, Has Chapters
Cover, Gen Harry Potter

If it was sorting alphanumerically 1Sigil should be the first tag to be sorted by after the books with no tags. Gen Harry Potter should come before Gen Harry Potter AU and Slash WC-SPN Crossover should by at the bottom of the list.

Second question, is there a way to adjust how it sorts by tag? So that it does sort by proper alphanumeric? using the above tags it should look like the following:

{blank/no tag}
1Sigil, Cover, Gen CSIMiami
Catalog
Cover
Cover, Gen BTVS/HP Crossover
Cover, Gen Harry Potter
Cover, Gen Harry Potter AU, Has Chapters
Cover, Gen Harry Potter Crossover, Gen HP/SG1 Crossover, Has Chapters
Cover, Gen Harry Potter Crossover, Gen HP/NCIS Crossover, Gen NCIS Crossover, Has Chapters
Cover, Gen Harry Potter Crossover, Gen NCIS Crossover, Has Chapters
Cover, Slash WC-SPN Crossover

Third, if it won't sort alphanumerically is there a way to 'hide' tags so that they're not included in the sort?

Thanks,

Beth
