Custom ordering of faq nodes

I would like to sign for this feature as well. Its difficult to navigate a faqs node when some of the question that pertain to a previously answered question are above it.

You can use the 'weight' module to do this. The drupal-5 version of the weight module works fine for me. I'm also using the patch provided in #106567

Another little trick: change the authoring time stamp.

I think the weight module doesn't scale once you get past several questions. The question is where does this go? Currently it would have to go to the FAQ Administration page. You could create a box that if you allowed ordering would list all the questions with up and down arrows to move them around.

The 'weight' module currently allows 81 levels (-40 to 40), which I think is probably sufficient for most people. In addition, if people have more than 81 questions (assuming they want to assign a unique weight to each), they will probably have them categorized for usability reasons. The use of categories would then allow 81 ordered questions per category. If you think 81 isn't enough, perhaps we should consider submitting a feature request for the 'weight' module requesting configurable weight ranges.

In addition, I think what you are suggesting would not work particularly well when the questions are categorized.

Well I have no doubt you could use the weight module. But I think keeping track of 80 some nodes via the weigh system doesn't scale from an interface perspective. If you want to place a question in a particular spot it might require a lot of change of weights. Maybe I don't understand how to use weights effectively.

I don't see how categories effect anything right now. Unless there is something I am missing or in the development release. All I see is one faq page. Where do categories come into play?

Okay I don't know how I missed the Use Categories setting. I can see how that would effect ordering.

Using categories and the weight module seems more than efficient. At this point I can't see why the module needs to be modified.

Ok cool. However, if you do run into any limitations and think changes are required please let me know. Closing this for now.

Weighting of nodes added to CVS, will be released shortly.

Released in 5.x-2.0.
