wp_get_post_terms order by parent not ordering children and grandchildren correc

I think that the start of my problem is that parent children and grandchildren don’t have the ID’s in hierarchical order, the parent category was added after children categories so i have problem ordering them correctly.

I want to get the list of custom taxonomies for custom post type, for that i use the function wp_get_post_terms to list the taxonomies. But i can’t get them in order of parent > children > grandchildren

From the wordpress documentation this should work:

wp_get_post_terms($edit_post->ID, 'listings_category', array("fields" => "ids", "orderby" => "parent"));

But the grandchildren category is always listed before children category.

This is the categories list:

Services
— Design
— Artistic
But in the database their id’s are not hierarchical

Services => id(454)
Design => id(43)
Artistic => id(44)

And i can’t make them display in order Services > Design > Artistic

They always end up in different order.

Here’s an array output
