This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to show a list of terms associated with each post in a loop. I would like to order the terms so that the primary category appears first.
Solution: The primary category designation is a Yoast SEO feature, and unfortunately Toolset's sorting algorithms are not designed to sort using this criteria. This would require custom programming.

I'm pretty sure it's part of the WordPress core (though a fairly recent addition): if a post is assigned to more than one category (or other category-like taxonomy), it gives the option of setting one of them as the primary category.
In this case, I have a taxonomy "Format" that behaves much like a category. See attached screen grab showing that one of them is designated as the "primary" one.
