Comment (by seanleavey):

 Hi @soulseekah, thanks so much for working on this patch! This is a
 feature I'd really love to see in WordPress as I currently have to requery
 the terms using the `get_the_terms` filter to make WordPress respect the
 order in which terms were defined in the post edit screen.

 This [issue recently cropped up again for
 me](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/6688) in Gutenberg when
 I was trying to display terms in `term_order` in a non-hierarchical
 taxonomy meta box. Overriding `get_the_terms` fixes the order, but, as I
 said, this requires a second query that should ideally not be necessary.

 Any idea on when this could be merged in to core?
