## Description

The Set Tag Order plugin enhances the WordPress tagging system by allowing users
to specify a custom display order for post tags in both the Block Editor and Classic
Editor. This plugin provides a user-friendly interface for rearranging tags using
drag-and-drop functionality, ensuring that tags are displayed in the desired order
on the front end of the website.

#### Key Features

 * **Custom Tag Order**: Easily rearrange tags in the desired order for posts, providing
   better control over how tags are presented to users.
 * **Custom Tag Separator**: Specify a custom character to separate tags in the 
   output, allowing for greater flexibility in how tags are displayed. Users can
   leave this field empty for no separator.
 * **Custom CSS Classes**: Add custom CSS classes to tag links, enabling users to
   style tags according to their theme’s design. This feature allows for separation
   of multiple classes with spaces.
 * **Compatibility**: Works seamlessly with both the Classic Editor and the Block
   Editor, ensuring a consistent user experience across different editing environments.
 * **Debug Mode**: Debug mode can be enabled to log diagnostic information, which
   is useful for troubleshooting and development purposes.
