 * Hi, I have setup a custom post and taxonomy type, the Taxonomy “Types” is a large
   list with parent and child objects.
 * When I create a new post the “Types” are all in alphabetical order for Parent
   and Child which is brilliant. Post is published with the relevant taxonomy “Type(
   s)” selected
 * The issue I am having is if I go back in to edit the post, the taxonomies I have
   selected are all at the top of the list and not in the original list order, if
   I then deselect one from the list and save the post the deselected “Type” gets
   taken out of order and put further down in the list outside of it’s parent.
 * I have this running on 2 sites currently one development and one live and I have
   the same issue on both sites.

 * Hi, after missing one plugin to turn off I found the issue was with “Classic 
   Editor”, turning this plugin on re-arranges the order of the taxonomies.
