Idea for increasing usability of BCIO Search

BCIO Search

Query or bug description
At present, if you want to see all lower-level classes within a specific lower-level ontology, you need to go to “Explore” and then use “Filter terms” to select the ontology of interest. This produces an alphabetical list of all classes in that ontology, for example all lower-level classes under “Behaviour” sub-ontology.

It would be helpful to have the option to view these classes in a hierarchical structure instead. We currently allow users to display classes in “Term A–Z” or “Term Z–A”. Adding a “Hierarchical” view could help users who just want to explore which classes are included under each lower-level ontology and are not very familiar with the ontology structure. To my understanding, the only way to do that now is by downloading the Excel hierarchical file (which I find really useful!)
