Comment (by husobj):

 I also think that terms should have a 'menu_order' field in the database
 and a simple numeric order field (like posts) when editing a term in the
 admin.

 Plugins can provide advanced drag-n-drop ordering functionality but it
 would make sense for there to be a consistent data field that can be used
 by all.

 I imagine this may be easier to implement once terms are no longer shared
 as per the [potential roadmap for
 taxonomies](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/07/28/potential-roadmap-
 for-taxonomy-meta-and-post-relationships/) as terms used by two multiple
 taxonomies would need to be able to have different order values.
