Noted though I don't think this is so easy to do on tag/read page
(this isn't the result of a "query" but a simple "read" of that
object)

>  * drop down menu on search result + tag/read pages with options to list in:
>    * alphabetical order
>    * order of entry (current?)
>    * order of latest edit

No problem (This should be very easy to implement).

> Also it would be amazing if one day one could view packages with a
> given set of tags by using a certain URL, a la delicious. E.g.
> something like:
>
>  http://ckan.net/tag/read/uk+science
>  http://ckan.net/tags/uk+science
>  http://ckan.net/tags/uk&science

This wouldn't be hard to do though I would point out you can already
do this using the package search interface: "By tags: 'tags: geodata
us' will search for packages tagged with 'geodata' and 'us'".
