Solution 1

The easiest way can be to sort them (ascending) and then revese them.
ArrayList.Sort Method (System.Collections)[^] and ArrayList.Reverse Method (System.Collections)[^] can help you in this regard.

Something like following should help -

C#

availableTags.Sort();
availableTags.Reverse();
