Actually, the tags get sorted alphabetically in
semanticdb-typecache-merge-streams. I removed the call to
semantic-sort-tags-by-name-then-type-increasing there and now I get the
tags according to the order they appear in the buffer.

I'm not sure why the tags get sorted alphabetically in the first place;
is it just so that they are more clearly arranged for the user? Then I'd
argue the sorting should happen in the higher level functions.
