This plugin allows you to display checked categories in hierarchical order. Selected categories will remain in their defined order rather than moving to the top of the list.
\nIt helps maintain the structure of parent and child categories in the post editor, making it easier for users to follow the taxonomy hierarchy when assigning categories.<\/p>\n\n\n
