Should be default functionality in core. The WP default is ridiculous and highly confusing for even technical people with busy taxonomy hierarchies.

Solves the issue perfectly, thanks for a useful plugin.

Very useful

I never understood why WordPress allows sub-items to be shown in a flat order if there are some terms selected. That, to me, is simply a bug. This fixes that.

Such an odd feature of WP since it leave the others children taxonomies all alone at bottom. I have never really looked for a solution in 10 years but it was time.

NIce, and still working okay!

Still works with the latest WP version and should be a core feature.

Thanks!

Really, I just can't understand why WordPress developers walk another way - this is, how it should be! :) I have launched over 100 websites on WordPress - and they all have this plugin. Thanks again!
