Your feedback about adding a sorting option based on the page order value is valuable, and we will take it into consideration for future updates. Thank you for raising this concern!

Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
Unfortunately, right now, the sorting option you’re referring to is not possible in the HTML sitemap. You can only sort your pages by using the Sort By options available in the HTML Sitemap settings.
With that said, our developers are continuously working to improve those features of the plugin. If this is something we can include in the future, we will announce it on our communication channels and on the changelog page: https://rankmath.com/changelog/
You may refer to our available filters here to further modify the HTML Sitemap:

We hope this helps.
Thanks.
