Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Steps required:
Create a taxonomy and add it as a field in content type. Create a view sorted by taxonomy term.
Expected behaviour:
List would be sorted the same as the order set in the vocabulary admin page
Actual behaviour:
List is sorted 1,2,3,0 putting the first term last in the list. Tried showing row weights in vocabulary admin and setting weights to 1,2,3,4 as a quick fix but this gets immediately reset to 0,1,2,3.

alexrayu commentedIt seems that this is related to cache. Ordering calamity happens when the user who does this is other than UID 1 - some other user with permissions to edit taxonomy.

pameeela commentedThis view is not configured to sort the content by term weight. As a field in the table, the 'Priority' value is just the name, not the term weight.
If you want to use the term weight to sort the content, you have to:
