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.

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.
