Apparently. Tags don't seem to be a strong point in Joplin in general. Basically they're just glorified key words.
Few apps do tags as well as #tiddlywiki (TW).
In TW every tag is proudly displayed at the top of each note, and clicking on a tag shows you everything else that is tagged with that tag. And on the desktop you can rearrange the order of tagged items just by dragging and dropping within the list of tagged items.
