Insertion of a tag value into a new Foundational issue would depend  
on a knowledge of what exists already. Could this be achieved through  
a phrasewheel by which (while this tag field is in focus) pressing  
spacebar (or is it down-cursor) would expose the existing values for  
this patient?

I assume that in the case of duplicate values (such as a user selecting
        4 ortho 2
but then failing to edit it into
        4 ortho 3
the two would sort together and among them by alpha order.

Can any way be thought of to edit the sort value of more than one row  
at a time?

re the nice-but-difficult idea to have "spacer" rows, I agree to not  
create garbage rows in the patient record. If feasible, would it be  
desirable that within any group, the first item would be flush-left  
and the second and subsequent value among any group indented?
