Backwards compatible

S3 will continue to support the group plist entry for ordering the library. However, if you use the new plist entry tags, the group entry will be ignored. This allows you to create a stack with both Group and Tags entries that will work well in s2 and s3.

Tags

Create a new entry in the plist with the key tags. It should be an array of strings. To keep indexing and searching fast, you should have no more than 5 tags.

What they should be

Tag should describe the general function or use of your stack. e.g.: Layout, Photos, Social, etc.

What they should not be

Do not include the developer name, copyright, or special characters.

Developer name & Company name

There will be a separate entry for developer name and users will be able to sort based on that if they choose -- so there is no reason to include the developer name in the tags.

Sorting

Users will be able to sort and search by tag. When sorting by tag, the first tag will be used to create a group of library icons, so make sure the first tag is the one that describes your stack the best.

Gaming the sort order

Those caught gaming the sort order in order to make their stacks appear first or more prominently will be made an example of. Don't be that guy.
