Fields with same weight should sort alphabetically

Drupal generally displays items with the same weight in alphabetic order, but CCK is not doing this. Fields with the same weight are sorted by the name of the field, which is only alphabetic if the field names happen to be alphabetic. When field labels have been changed since the fields were created, or if translated values are used for field labels, fields are not going to end up in alphabetic order.

CCK field arrays use the field names as keys, and the expectation that the keys are the field names is hard-coded throughout both core and contributed modules, so we can't change that. The default sort of fields coming out of the database can't rely on translated labels for fields, since translated values are not stored in the database. This means we need to re-order the fields just before we output them to forms or views. I think this needs to be done in order for CCK to be in conformance with the way things usually behave in Drupal, so I'm marking this as a bug report.
