I have a taxonomy term reference field on a node. On the "node/add" page I would like to sort the terms by "due date" (a field added to that vocabulary).

3Taxonomy terms are entities, could you use the Entity Reference module with a view as the widget? Then you could use a view to order the terms by the custom field – Clive♦ Oct 20 '12 at 0:20

didn't know ER can do that. Do I need to use drupal.org/project/entityreference_view_widget? – uwe Oct 20 '12 at 1:23

1You can do if you want a more advanced widget, but if you just need a dropdown you can use the built in views integration. Just create a view with an Entity Reference display, then use the Views: Filter by entity reference view mode when you're configuring the field – Clive♦ Oct 20 '12 at 10:28
If you're stuck using a term reference field, here are some widget options:
I had succsefull manage this by this module, Views Term Hierarchy Weight Field, just add (hidden) Hierarchical weight field, then, on sort settings, sort by this new field.
