<p>Gutenberg Editor already maintains the parent-child relationship when you select a category. So the child doesn’t move at the top in the category meta box. So this plugin isn’t required if you’re using the Gutenberg Editor.</p>
<p><strong>Categories in Hierarchical Order plugin applies to WordPress Classic Post Editor only.</strong></p>
<p>This plugin contains functionality to let you maintain default hierarchical order of categories when you select and save them for a post in your WordPress Admin Classic Post Editor.</p>
<p>The selected category/categories, to which a post belongs, are by default pushed at the top in the Category tab while saving the post. Whereas activating Categories in Hierarchical Order plugin will keep the position of selected category/categories unchanged as per their parent/child relationship.</p>

Categories in Hierarchical Order

Does exactly what you expect from this plugin. Nice!

Works great!

Does exactly what should be the default option in Wordpress, great! Sorely needed if you have many categories (possibly with very similar names) and rely on a complex hierarchy.

Great!

Perfect

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

Brilliant!

Categories in Hierarchical Order plugin maintains the hierarchical order of categories list in the Category tab under your WordPress Admin Post Editor …

<h3>Fully automatic sidebar menus.</h3>
<p>Uses the parent/child relationship of your pages or categories to generate menus based on the current section of your site. Assign a page or category to a parent and Advanced Sidebar Menu will do the rest for you.</p>
<p>Keeps the menu clean and usable. Only related items display, so you don’t have to worry about keeping a custom menu up to date or displaying links to items that don’t belong.</p>
<p>Blocks are available to display menus where you need them. Look for the “Advanced Sidebar – Pages” block, or the “Advanced Sidebar – Categories” block. Widgets are also available for page builders or sites using classic widgets.</p>

<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>When your users view a page or category, the Advanced Sidebar Menu plugin will calculate the related content based on what you have selected using the standard WordPress parent selectors.</p>
<p>The menu will be different for every page that displays the Advanced Sidebar Blocks because the menu is generated specifically to the current page.</p>
<p>Depending on “Pages” block options, the menu will display:</p>
<ul>
<li>The current page.</li>
<li>Parent page.</li>
<li>Child pages.</li>
<li>Grandparent pages.</li>
<li>Grandchild pages.</li>
<li>First level child pages related to the current item.</li>
</ul>
<p>Depending on “Categories” block options, the menu will display:</p>
<ul>
<li>The current category.</li>
<li>Parent category.</li>
<li>Child categories.</li>
<li>Grandparent categories.</li>
<li>Grandchild categories.</li>
