As others have pointed out, there's no sane way to sort

Modulo timezone differences

  git for-each-ref --format="%(taggerdate:raw)%(committerdate:raw) %(refname:short)" refs/tags | sort -n | cut -d\  -f3

For some neat reason only one of the dates is displayed, depending on the type of object.

(Interestingly, the v0.99 tag in git.git doesn't have a date or tagger...)
