'git tag' returns these tags on https://github.com/out-of-cheese-error/the-way:

v0.10.0 v0.10.1 v0.11.0 v0.11.1 v0.12.0 v0.12.1 v0.13.0 v0.14.0 v0.14.1 v0.14.2 v0.14.3 v0.14.4 v0.15.0 v0.16.0 v0.16.1 v0.17.0 v0.17.1 v0.18.0 v0.2.1-osx v0.2.1_osx v0.2.2 v0.2.3 v0.2.4 v0.2.5 v0.3.0 v0.3.1 v0.3.2 v0.4.0 v0.5.0 v0.6.0 v0.6.1 v0.7.0 v0.8.0 v0.9.0

The latest tag is 0.18.0.

'git tag' should return tags in the order they were created.

Maybe they should be sorted by date?

git-2.38.1

See `git tag --sort=<key>`.
