For questions about the functionality related to permutations in Mathematica.
Questions with this tag might deal with simple functions to generate permutations and identify permutation cycles of lists, but could also involve more sophisticated functions dealing with permutation algebra and groups. Relevant functions are Permutations, Permute, Cycles, FindPermutation, PermutationList, Signature, and lots of others. Consider using the group-theory or combinatorics tags as well.
Questions about the sorting of lists should use the tag sorting.
