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If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the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.
