In the core menu module you can control the weight of the menu but it seems like the functionality is taken away by this module or i am not able to see how to do it? Can someone please guide me?

Title: Is there a way to control the weight? » Provide a method for controlling a menu items weight

When I first installed this module I swear I saw a dropdown for weighting menu items under the "Current Menu Items". But after upgrading to the dev release and rolling back to beta4 the dropdown is no longer there and instead there is drag and drop sorting.

While the drag and drop sorting controls are cool, they are essentially useless, at least in my case and I can't specifically imagine a case where these controls would be useful considering you are only managing the weight of items one node at a time.

Ideally, the weight controls can be a drop down (again?) which at least gives the users the ability to float the menu item up or down in relation to other menu items defined by other nodes or the menu system.

I may also see about adding a weight control to the "Add a new menu link" form.

Working on a patch...

Attached is a patch that removes the drag and drop sorting and instead has a drop down for selecting the weight.
