In general, for all questions one of the required tags is displayed as the first tag. But for this community wiki question, a moderator-only-tag is displayed as the first tag and the required tag is displayed in the last position.

Is this a bug or any feature for the wiki question?

I guess this has something to do with the MSO → MSE migration.

The earliest snapshot I could find in the Wayback Machine is from July 2009:

when it was tagged (in that order) .

The earliest snapshot on Meta Stack Exchange is from September 2015

when the tags are .

Migration can do strange things to tag order, and I think this is no exception. When I my script edited the question earlier today, it did not change the tags, so they're left in their original order. If somebody edits those, I guess they'll end up in the correct order again.

    Just tried making a tag edit, and it looks like you’re right, they’re now in the correct order.
