Hierarchical taxonomy UI

I don’t like the way the taxonomies are displayed within the WordPress admin and was wondering if anyone knew the best way to hook in and change it. Currently if I select some terms within my post those selected terms go to the top of the list and the hierarchy is broken making it visually confusing for the user.

Please see these images for an idea of what I’m talking about

I want to display the taxonomies exactly how they are displayed initially with just the correct terms ticked. Is there a way of doing this without having to edit the WordPress core directly, I can’t see any hooks for me to use.

Thank you for any help you can give!

There is a plugin by Scribu called Category Checklist Tree that disables this “feature”.
