Just go into Finder to the folder you want to sort and right click within that folder, this will bring up a menu with options, go to Arrange By and click, then click on how you want the files within that folder arranged. Screenshot below.

i know that :)

i want my tags sorted by file types not folder.

example: all .mp3 file on my mac will tagged yellow

and yellow tag is rename to music

and blue color tags is called photos, maybe, so all .jpg .png on mac will be blue

Its not going to be an app, since you're looking for functionality within Finder. Maybe a Finder replacement like Path Finder or Total Finder.
 
thank you very much, they could not help me, but xtrafinder have other function I could use. :)
 
You could then select the kind and tag them.

it would really take an incredibly long time, and it would more easy just open all my folders one by one select and tag them..

the answer does not make sense..
