    Hi,

    When I move parent terms with a couple childs the ordering goes wrong.

    Example:

    I move a parent with term_id 45 and order 5 to order 2 (checked in termmeta table)
    Then the childs also get order 2 and the table is something like 1 2 3 4 2 2 6

    It’s hard to fix it again. You have to start moving around terms until you finally fixed it.

    I believe it happens because the terms are ordered by parent and child in the preview table but in reality all the terms have a unique order number. This is broken by design.

    In my opinion it should be:

    – parent items get a order number starting from 1 or 0 and keep counting up. And child terms should also start at 1 or 0 inside the parent. This way you can order the terms in a correct way and still move them around in their own scope.
