Custom query loop for terms having a parent child relation

[Fernando]

How do I select parent or child when using terms query loop?

Hi Sridhar. Could You explain this a little further? I´m at the same point as Alexa is / was. If I set the parent id as a fixed value (122) it looks good - but using ‘{term_id}’ results in displaying the all categories starting from the alphabetic first.

This is also discussed here. It should resolve {term_id} in the parent section, but it is not working for many.
