git tag listing order

I'm using git 1.6.5.3 on Ubuntu and was wondering if there is a way to
list tags in order of when they were added to the tree, instead of
alphabetical?

You can use for-each-ref with its sort option:

  git for-each-ref --sort=taggerdate --format='%(refname:short)' refs/tags

Though note that unannotated tags will have no taggerdate, and will all
sort to the front of the list. To exclude them, I think you'd have to
use a special format to grep and sort yourself. Something like:

  git for-each-ref \
    --format='%(taggerdate:iso8601) %(refname:short)' refs/tags |
    grep -v '^ ' |
    sort |
    cut -d' ' -f4-
