Hi,
Can you please tell me how do you set term order for a post?
When I go to WP database, I see the term_order
is available only for term_relationships
table, which stores the connections between posts and terms. And the sooner a term in inserted, the lower order it has.
When we update a post, Meta Box runs wp_set_object_terms()
function to update post terms. This function does these things:
term_order
)The last step causes the problem you have met. You can check the source code of wp_set_object_terms()
function to see more details. Here is the screenshot of that part:

The bad thing is this is the only function we can use to set post terms :(.
Maybe there's another approach to set the order? Have you tried taxonomy_advanced
field?
