This means: First, show a-m-commands and a-i-commands; and, because of
the dash, show nothing else.  So, just delete the solitary dash.  Note:
with that configuration, you'll have to invoke _next_tags (q.v.) in
order to list completions from other tags.

Incidentally, you can always simply «zstyle -e foo bar 'reply=(baz
qux)'» to «zstyle foo bar baz qux».  It's exactly equivalent.

Note the quoting.  «zstyle … tag-order 'foo bar'» and «zstyle …
tag-order foo bar» are both valid, but have different meanings.

Cheers,
