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.
Categories in Hierarchical Order plugin applies to WordPress Classic Post Editor only.
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.
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.

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!

Dropdown hierarchical category in WordPress post write panel or editing screen. It makes the categories or taxonomies list in a better UI which enables show/hide toggle of child categories. It comes with plugin settings page where you can select in what custom post type(s) the dropdown UI will be applied to.
The idea comes from default WordPress hierarchial post categories which looks not good. Imagine that there are a lot of child categories. After selecting child category then publishing or updating a post, the arrangement seems not pretty — the child categories moved away from its parent. This plugin tackles that situation.
