Comment:

 I propose adding an object_order column for this purpose. Term_order was
 intended for prioritizing multiple terms as applied to a single object.
 (see [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5857 #5857])

 Object_order would be a logical place for storing the order in the
 opposite direction - multiple objects assigned to the same term. Both are
 very helpful concepts.

 I will be attempting to write functions for the term_order concept to
 submit as a patch. If the object_order concept is blessed, you may be able
 to use some of my code for that purpose too.
