Reply To: Prevent terms order being overwritten when updating post

i simply set this option https://imgur.com/vhZR41A

and it will set this parameter on taxonomy setting:
sort' => true,

and yes, the term order is saved on term_order column inside term_relationships table. to set the term order, you just need to insert it on taxonomy field like you normally do, but the difference is input sequence is matter. so you just need to insert the terms in sequence and the order set in sequence.

it's an abandoned feature on wordpress and people didnt pay attention much to it, you can set the order but to show it you still need to use your custom query.

that's what im doing right now but having a trouble like i mention above. i think it's a waste to try another solution, because wordress already provide the column for us and we just need to step up using our own feet to use it.
