## Description

On the post editing screen, after saving a post, you will notice that the checked
categories are displayed on top, breaking the category hierarchy. This plugin removes
that “feature”.

Additionally, it automatically scrolls to the first checked category.

Works with custom taxonomies too.

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.

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.

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

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!

Simple and without configuration, it’s just does what it says it does.
