Alphabetize tags on individual records

Hi! I'm wondering if it is possible to alphabetize the list of comma-separated tags on each record in Calibre (not the tag browser, but the tags applied to a book). Currently, it looks like Calibre keeps the tags in the order in which they were entered.

I am admittedly a serial folksonomist and apply lots of tags to my books, so as to help others filter down my collection. I'm hoping there's a tweak or script that can re-order the tags alphabetically in ascending order, for example:

from:
BOOK1 tags: c, d, a, b, e
BOOK2 tags: w, z, y, x
BOOK3 tags: 4, 1, 2, 5, 6, 3
to
BOOK1 tags: a, b, c, d, e
BOOK2 tags: w, x, y, z
BOOK3 tags: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Hopefully it is actually possible to accomplish this, but I'm not a very savvy/sophisticated user so I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance!
