On the post editing screen, after saving a post, you will notice that the checked categories are displayed on top, breaking the category hierarchy. This plugin removes that “feature”.
Additionally, it automatically scrolls to the first checked category.
Works with custom taxonomies too.

I have launched over 100 websites on WordPress - and they all have this plugin.
Thanks again!

Preserves the category hierarchy on the post editing screen
