Hmm, I might be missing something obvious, but here’s the best I can
come up with.
First, specify that you want the tag search to sort based on timestamp,
earliest first:
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(tags timestamp-up))
Then make a custom function that when called on a heading returns the
first timestamp:
(defun my/org-get-first-timestamp ()
(save-excursion
(or (and (re-search-forward org-ts-regexp
(save-excursion (outline-next-heading)
(point))
t)
(match-string 1))
"")))
(Org might already have a function that would do that, but that seems to
work.)
Now use that function in the agenda prefix for tag searches:
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-prefix-format '(tags .
"%-21(my/org-get-first-timestamp) "))
With the example you gave---but changing 2018-11-1 to 2018-11-01 to make
a valid timestamp---‘C-c a m client1’ gives me:
Headlines with TAGS match: client1
Press ‘C-u r’ to search again
2018-10-28 Tue description of deadline
:client1:
2018-11-01 Thu 10:00 a meeting
:client1:
