IMHO "git tag" is expected to show tag-list ordered by versions.

It may be case, that people do not follow same version numbering convention. Most people after x.9.x increment major version (that is why they may not be affected because of this)

Another option like "git tag --date-asc" can be added which will print tags by creation date. (As long as people do not create backdated tag, this will work).

I completely agree, and there was a proposal to an option like this a
long time ago:
