Could this be the same bug as this?

https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/10850

I’ve created a new GitHub issue: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/10850

A fix is available in the thread mentioned by @hooperkat above.

Actually, scratch this hack and substitute it for this much simpler hack courtesy of Miles Blackwood Robinson over at this plugin’s Github repository: https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/issues/390

The fix is as follows. Simply substitute line 17 in the file template-tags.php from:

$coauthor_terms = get_the_terms( $post_id, $coauthors_plus->coauthor_taxonomy );

to:

$coauthor_terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post_id, $coauthors_plus->coauthor_taxonomy, array( 'orderby' => 'term_order', 'order' => 'ASC' ) );

Thanks for the hack, Alan!

It didn’t work for me, but after a few modifications I got it to work. Here is my modified version:

if ( is_array( $coauthor_terms ) && ! empty( $coauthor_terms ) ) {
		  
		  // Collect all author term IDs
		  $term_ids = array_map(function($el){
			return $el->term_id;
		  }, $coauthor_terms);
		  
		  // Collect all taxonomy term IDs per author
		  $sql_get_term_taxonomy_ids = sprintf(
			"SELECT term_taxonomy_id
			FROM %s
			WHERE term_id IN (%s)
			",
			$wpdb->term_taxonomy,
			join(', ', $term_ids)
		  );
		  
		  $term_taxonomy_ids = $wpdb->get_results($sql_get_term_taxonomy_ids);
		  
		  $term_tax_ids = array_map(function($el){
			return $el->term_taxonomy_id;
		  }, $term_taxonomy_ids);
		  
		  // Get order of term taxonomy IDs for this post
		  $sql_get_author_order = sprintf(
			"SELECT term_taxonomy_id, term_order
			FROM %s
			WHERE object_id = %d
			AND term_taxonomy_id IN (%s)
			ORDER BY term_order ASC",
			$wpdb->term_relationships,
			$post_id,
			join(', ', $term_tax_ids)
		  );
		  
		  // Organize order by term ID
		  $author_order_data = $wpdb->get_results($sql_get_author_order);
		  if(!empty($author_order_data)) {
			$author_order_data_ids = [];
			foreach($author_order_data as $order_data) {
			  $author_order_data_ids[$order_data->term_taxonomy_id] = $order_data->term_order;
			}
			
			foreach($coauthor_terms as &$coauthor_term) {
			  $coauthor_term->order = $author_order_data_ids[$coauthor_term->term_taxonomy_id];
			}
		  }
		  
		  // Sort authors by order
		  usort($coauthor_terms, function($a, $b){
			return ((int) $a->order > (int) $b->order) ? 1 : -1;
		  });
		  
		  
			foreach ( $coauthor_terms as $coauthor ) {
                 // ..

As you can see, I iterated over the term_taxonomy_id’s instead of term_id.

That worked perfectly. Thanks for the fast response and an excellent plugin!
