Missing "custom sort" function in the new Term store
Is this function not available or can I not see it? Currently we use this function to control the position of the entries in the navigation.

I was looking for this functionality earlier this week, and it still seems like you have to go back to the old term store management tool to access custom sorting for child terms. If Microsoft ends up phasing out the old term store we'll be missing some very important functionality. Why is this not resolved yet?

Hello nuchuck
YES 💪
In modern term store:
you can activate a custom sort order:
It's not a pinned or reusable term group.

DaveMehr365 This is only available at the top level as you have shown here. Go another level deeper and the option is not there. We need to be able to sort all terms within all parent terms, not just the highest level alone.

Has anyone already found a solution? We have opened a ticket with Microsoft.
The answer so far was that almost no one needs this function. Unfortunately, there are too few objections regarding the omission of the function.
This is again Microsoft who partly completely headless simply remove functions and are of the opinion that this no one needs. Since one can only shake the head. We can no longer sort our submenus, that is suboptimal.
Micrsoft should please extend the function again to all levels.
In the old term store it worked tatdelos.
Incomprehensible 🙈
