NOTE: If you’re looking for something more user-focused, take a look at <a href="https://organizewp.com/?utm_source=wordpressorg&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">OrganizeWP</a> which is complete rethinking of Hierarchy!
Custom Post Types (sometimes) need context, Hierarchy allows you to rework your content management workflow by essentially moving Custom Post Type admin menus into your Pages list. What this does is mimic the navigation you’ve set up on your site by placing Custom Post Type edit links amongst your Pages where they belong.

Hierarchy removes unnecessary entries from the Admin Menu and instead injects theme where appropriate amongst your Pages, grouping everything under a single ‘Content’ Admin Menu entry.
<h4>Custom Post Types NEED context</h4>
Custom Post Types are great, but the editing workflow can be improved. Adding a Custom Post Type likely results in another WordPress admin sidebar menu, abstracting the management of that content from the main organization of your site, Pages. Hierarchy intelligently extends your Pages menu by including your Custom Post Type admin links within the Page structure, allowing for a much more natural workflow when managing your content.
<h4>Examples</h4>
Chances are you’ve customized your <code>Front page displays</code> setting to display a static page instead of your latest blog posts. Now you’ve got a sidebar link to manage your Posts and a WordPress Page called “Blog” that sites in your list of Pages doing absolutely nothing. Hierarchy remedies both problems by converting the “Blog” page link to be one that lists your Posts. It also hides the Posts sidebar entry (if you want it to).
It’s also likely that you’re utilizing Custom Post Types to power sections of your website, but it’s awkward to manage the content of an internal section of your website using the main WordPress admin sidebar links to your Custom Post Type. Hierarchy will allow you to hide those sidebar links and instead nest them amongst your Pages, providing contextual links to manage the content of your Custom Post Types.

Hierarchy

That cleans up things in your WordPress as CMS installation.

Cool plugin

Move your Pages/Posts/Custom Post Type admin links from the sidebar to a Content menu that nests everything where it should be

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!
