I noticed a change in upload process:

Is it no longer needed to order the keyword (top ten)?

If so, its a great news

Lightroom keywording, Ver 11.3, is not handled correctly by the Adobe upload process. Parent keywords and synonyms are lost. This bug has been reported

It may be corrected by now.

Where did you notice a change? The problem with Lightroom was always that keywords got sorted alphabetically (which has a search-efficacy reason) and stock needs them in order of prevalence. So, no, you still need to get a correct keyword order.

There is a change, the ordering is now hidden, and you need an extra click to access it (that why I didn't see it earlier). Making the process a bit more tedious.

This is an addition to the keyword handling changes in Lightroom classic: in ver 11 keyword order become messier and not controllable, and you need to cut and paste to make it at least alphabetical and not random, and since ver. 11.3 keyword handling performance was reduced significantly.

The keywords are submitted in the order as entered.

@RanDembo , according to the guidelines, the order of the keywords is still very important.  Take a look at the link here:

I think this new format is to help prevent irrelevant keywords from automatically populating and contributors forgetting to delete them.
