Comment (by wujek_bogdan):

 Replying to [comment:2 johnh10]:
 > I'm running into the same issue, and am unable to user `pre_get_terms`
 to order the terms by `meta_value`. It does not work like `pre_get_posts`
 at all.

 Read the whole comment I wrote (or at least the last sentence ;)), at the
 bottom I've posted a solution.
