title: GitHub API (v3): Order tags by creation date
body: <p>I ran into a problem / question while using the GitHub API.</p>
  
  <p>I need a list of all tags created after a single tag. The only way to do this, is to compare the tags by date. However, the results from the API aren't ordered by date:</p>
  
  <p>Result from the API (rails repository example):</p>

  <p>Results from the webinterface:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qJ6WC.png" alt="Webinterface results"></p>
  
  <p>What i did expect is a list ordered by date. However, as you can see in the pictures: the API is returning v4.0.0rc1 &amp; v4.0.0rc2 before the release of v4.0.0, while 4.0.0 is released after the release candidates. There isn't even a creation / commit date to order at server side.</p>
  
  <p>The releases API isn't a solution either. This API is only returning releases created by Github, not the releases created by tags.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to order the tags by date?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
