How to add custom sort order to a taxonomy field list?

I am trying to sort the list of content according to the weight order given to taxonomy term.

Terminology used:

content type : contact-person-details

taxonomy : company vocabulary which has list of company names like company A, company B, …

session company : every user has a company which is stored in session, users have similar company names too.

how it works now: Imagine I am from “company A” stored in my session. Based on my company, content in a view is getting shown (company A is the taxonomy term used for filtering). Views are used to filter the content type contact-person-details. Varies from company to company which was tagged to content, based on user session company.

What I am trying to achieve? Image below helps in understanding the visual concept. Imagine list (Test one, Test sort, …) shown are the company vocabulary lists, just like (company A, company B, …) I want an additional field or textbox just to the side of each term showing to add weight. This weight should be available in the view so that I’m able to making sorting based on the weight allocated for each content.

enter image description here

I would like to know is there a existing possibility to weight the taxonomy list in field.

If it is still complex to understand I will try to edit my explanation.
