FIX: sort tags by name when tags_sort_alphabetically is enabled (#37363)

Follow-up to #37339. The previous fix addressed sorting when clicking the "so…rt by name" button, but missed the initialization path when the `tags_sort_alphabetically` site setting is enabled. Tags were still being sorted by `id` instead of `name` on initial page load. This also adds tests for both sorting paths (site setting and manual toggle) to prevent regressions.
