Comment:

 Reverting back to 4.7 I don't see where it orders by hierarchy. It seems
 to order by Alpha always. In WordPress 4.9 there's the
 `wp_get_object_terms_args` filter hook which may circumvent this issue but
 there isn't anything specific to `the_category()`. Not sure if this change
 is wanted or necessary. We would likely need an additional parameter to
 pass all the way down to `wp_get_object_terms()`.
