An alternative way would be to remove all the spaces in the tags before sorting. It also means that users who have templates etc which parse the tag using a period wouldn't have to update their code.
If the field is a custom column a "tag sort" field could be added to the table which could act in the same way as the 'author sort' and 'title sort' fields. In addition it should be possible to add a tweak which would allow users to decide how they want their tags to sort - existing or new.
Hopefully this should avoid all those bug reports for something that isn't a bug.
