Fix issues with ordering of tagged items (#3301)

* Added better handling for sortByList manual placements

If manual placement specifications show up in an inconvenient order,
sortByList, will go to the trouble of processing them in that order.

* Added tests to confirm solution to (#3296)

...That custom tag ordering will not choke when tiddlers get sorted after their dependencies have been placed around them

* Corrected list-after bug when referencing external titles

* Using more error-proof $tw.utils.hop in sortByList

* minor indentation correction in test-tags.js
