Overview
The "Categories in Hierarchical Order" plugin is designed for users of the WordPress Classic Post Editor who want to maintain the default hierarchical order of categories when selecting and saving them for a post. Unlike the Gutenberg Editor, which already preserves the parent-child relationship of categories, this plugin ensures that the chosen categories remain in their original order instead of being moved to the top of the Category meta box. This functionality is essential for those who want to keep their category organization intact without disruption. For assistance or to contribute, users can utilize the support page, visit the official website, or access the GitHub repository.

Don’t understand why this plug-in doesn’t have more reviews. It’s one of the first I install. I have sites with a subject category and then a subject-date category. this allows me to keep the dates with the categories without naming them with both the category and the date. Otherwise, I would see 1978 chosen but not be able to check that I had chosen photos>1978 or notes>1978. Repeating the category name with every date would add twice the number of terms in far too many places.

Why is this not part of the WordPress core yet? This plugin fixed my ugly looking category structure! Thanks guys!
