 Hi @Venutius,

 My apologies that it took so long for someone to respond to your ticket.

 This was discussed many times in the context of the classic editor (see
 #3130, #14916, #10982 and the many duplicates mentioned in #10982's
 history).

 Since this ticket was opened, the new block editor was released in
 WordPress, and it actually includes the improvement that you are
 suggesting. I have attached a screenshot showing the new behavior.

 In short, all selected categories still rise to the top, but their
 hierarchy is also pulled up, even when the parent categories are not
 selected. When there are more than a handful of categories, a search box
 is also displayed to filter categories. The results of the search also
 maintain the hierarchy.
