NOTES :

Since you need a specific order and alphabetical will not work, use Product Tag in the products to define the sort order.
Use numbers and start at 10 for the first group, 20 for the second, etc. that way if you need to add more groups to the sort order you can use 5,15, 25 etc
In your printer template sort/group by PRODUCT TAG.
Your first screenshot is an Order Tag, which is in Management > Tickets, and is related to “modifiers” or “options” as it pertains to Menu Items (they could even be a Discount on specific Items). You can list defaultOrder Tags (comma separated) in the field you have shown, and they will be selected automatically when you choose a Menu Item. For example…
If you have Order Tags such as Bacon and Cheese, and you sell a Menu Item called “Bacon Cheeseburger”, you could list Bacon,Cheese in that field and they will automatically be selected when you choose that Menu Item.
Your second screenshot is not related to Menu items, rather, it is related to Products. It is useful for grouping Products beyond their Category, among other things, such as grouping in a Report, or in a Printer Template. As a simple example…
You may have a Category called Alcohol, and have all beer products tagged as Beer (Local) or Beer (Import), while still having other Product Tags in the Alcohol Category such as White Wine or Red Wine.
To apply a Product Tag to all products in a Product Category, you would need to go through the Products 1 by 1, or come up with a SQL statement to modify them quickly in a batch. Though they are actually Products, these items are listed in the table called [SambaPOS4].[dbo].[MenuItems].
