 * I would like to print the terms from a custom taxonomy in a certain order.
    Am
   I correct that get_the_term_list can not ne sorted?
 * If yes, can it be done through
    `$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'sectors');`
 * Suppose I have a taxonomy Sectors: Alpha, Bravo, Charly, Delta, Global
 * Ideally, if the term list contains Global, I would like it to be the first in
   the list (with permalinks):
    Global, Charly, Delta Instead of Charly, Delta, 
   Global
 * What if I wanted the list in reverse order D,C,B,A?
    Thaks for your help.
