Description

Currently we have this toggle in settings which determines how tags are sorted:

When ON, the tags are sorted alphabetically and cannot be reordered in the nav drawer:

When OFF, the tags sort defaults to created by date, but allows the user to reorder them in the nav drawer (and this order is synced across all devices):

The tag sorting options UI in settings is not clear in regards to how an on/off switch maps to the behaviors above ☝️. Let's clean up this UI a little bit.

Research direction

Start by locating the tag-sorting options in the iOS settings UI and trace how the selection affects tag ordering and nav-drawer reordering. Done means the settings clearly describe the alphabetical and reorderable behaviors, with the existing sorting and syncing behavior preserved.
