Language meta box shown above Publish meta box

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are working on a site under development and editing posts from your custom post type (CPT) using the Classic Editor GUI. You want the Publish meta box to be at the top of the editing screen, but the Language meta box is shown above the WordPress's Publish meta box, which is different from the past.

Solution:
Currently, there is no setting available to change the order of the Language meta box in the Classic Editor. We recommend that you manually drag and drop the Language meta box to your desired position. WordPress will remember this position for each user who makes the change.

If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

danielI-23	Background of the issue: I am working on a site under development and editing posts from my custom post type (CPT) using the Classic Editor GUI. I want the Publish meta box to be at the top of the editing screen. Symptoms: The Language meta box is shown above the WP's Publish meta box when using the Classic Editor, which is different from the past. On other post types using the block editor, the meta box priority is correct. Questions: Is there a setting where I can control the order of the meta boxes in the Classic Editor?

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Hi, Thank you for contacting the support. Unfortunately there's no setting to change the position of Language meta box. However, you can drag/drop to move it to the desired place and WordPress keeps track of it for the user who changed it. Regards.
