Description
I have SCPO set to order a custom taxonomy product-categories. When I use get_terms() and print_r the result, term_order which is the taxonomy equivalent of menu_order is not set so the order_by doesn’t work.
I have this taxonomy checked in settings and the sorting in admin works, it just doesn’t seem possible to use this in a template.
A perplexing coda, if the argument parent => 0` is set the order is correct.
So get_terms('taxonomy'=> 'product-category', 'parent' => 0) returns the order as fixed by SCPO, get_terms('taxonomy'=> 'product-category') does not.
Just to confirm, with parent => 0 the order is as Admin, with all children the order is term_order.
It is my opinion that the term order should be set by SCPO when reordered in admin.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the two get_terms() calls described in the issue for the product-category taxonomy, comparing results with and without parent => 0. Trace how the plugin updates taxonomy ordering in admin and how the template query applies order_by. Done means the custom term order is preserved for both queries.
