Nostr Dev Question:

When serializing an event to generate the hash ID, how should tags be ordered?

I cannot find anything under NIP-01 for this.

Currently, I am storing metadata external to the event to keep track of the tag order respective of how it was received, but that doesn't seem optimal.

Is there a recommended standard? Maybe alphabetical based on the UTF8 serialized strings of each tag? Although, that is certainly less optimal since that would require individual serialization of each tag plus a string compare sort.
