 Hi gang, thanks for all the work y'all do. I've been a WordPress user for
 a looooong time, really appreciate the community's efforts over the years.

 There's a new "bug" that got introduced into 6.8, and it's unfortunately
 broken a lot of my websites. (I say "bug", but maybe there was a reason
 this change was made.)

 Short and sweet: the ability to filter tags via the URL has been
 incredibly useful. I run many asset library type websites, and being able
 to display certain posts by their tags is essential.

 Example:

 https://bagofhurt.com/tag/2025+test-tag-1/

 In this example, this page lists all posts that have both of these two
 tags. All good so far. The kicker comes when you flip the tags:

 https://bagofhurt.com/tag/test-tag-1+2025/

 While you get the same post result, the listed tag in the H1 still says
 "2025."

 ----

 To contrast, here's the same page in WP 6.7.2:

 https://bagofhurt.com/old/tag/test-tag-1+2025/

 The tag listed first in the query has always been used for the H1 display
 – until 6.8. It looks like it now uses the first tag alphabetically,
 regardless of the order.

 ----


 I don't know the WP codebase well enough to tell someone where to look,
 but if this an easy fix, I would greatly appreciate a patch. Or if there's
 a better way for me to replicate the behavior I'm after?
