WP Category Order

This plugin allows you to display checked categories in hierarchical order. Selected categories will remain in their defined order rather than moving to the top of the list.
It helps maintain the structure of parent and child categories in the post editor, making it easier for users to follow the taxonomy hierarchy when assigning categories.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

e.g.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
3. Check on the Back-end, you will get category in hierarchical order.
