Solution

It can be done with any third party solutions like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/

It works for general categories, but not for the Featured Categories.

Solution for Featured Categories

Under the hood

Featured categories, when choose and saved, saved as an array in wp_options table. Hence changing on the order doesn't take any effect as we queried them, not their orders.

Solution

After sorting the categories using any third party plugin, let's follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Empty first

Empty the featured categories selection first, save changes

Step 2: Choose again

Choose the categories again for featured categories, save changes

It will work, inshALLAH.
