This is a normal post When you say you need to "tag" them
you seem to be under the assumption that the file system has some embedded tagging system that allows you to add meta data to any file. It doesn't, it's part of the file itself and WAV files have to follow a very specific file format or players wont read them, you can't add tags to them. Some apps might store a separate database that has metadata associated with files, but that's bespoke to the application itself, nothing else can read that data unless they have some open API but there's nothing that I know of that can do what you're after. The best solutions have already been posted, either change the filename, simple but use leading zeros in the track name if you want them in order, 01, 06, 10 etc. Or use FLAC, which have FLAG tags in the file format.

Edit: Personally I'd just encode them as 192kb MP3 and save a fuckton of disk space and fill it with porn instead of WAV files.

This is a normal post I have a 512gb SSD on my laptop,
that's plenty to store all my MP3 files. Why the fuck would I want to store them as WAV files at a ridiculous increase in file size? People can't tell the difference between correctly encoded MP3 and WAV like they make out anyway. They are just audio snobs.

This is a normal post That, or they've got something a bit better than Laptop speakers through an onboard soundchip.
I have, and I can tell the difference between FLAC and 320 VBR MP3. FLAC and vinyl is not so easy, but Vinyl requires Ritual, like getting the good china out for a cup of tea. FLAC is like slapping a bag in a mug and MP3 is like filling it up from a hot tap.

This is a normal post I was under assumption wav does not support tags too. It does according to wikipedia, but for lots of things they are unexpected still.

This is a normal post Must be a feature that just didn't take off then
not much use in it if no software implemented it.

I think I'd stick with MP3 files.

This is a normal post If I can choose, I use WavPack/Ogg.
Still just filenames are good enough for me, no tags.
