I'm working on a project, where I need to use more field with the same label.

The problem is clear: When I try to reorder the fields on field display overview form, it's hard to figure out, what field I'm dragging:

We discussed on #drupal.hu irc channel, more of them need to see the machine names in this pages.

On content type page we see this: http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5895/kijells042.png

I think, the field ui pages would be usable like this:

instead of this:

Patch looks good after a review. I've also tested it and it's working as expected. Here is a new patch that only adds a space before the machine_name to match the look of admin/structure/types.
('' becomes ' ')

This doesn't apply anymore. Also tagging for UX review.

I would consider this a won't fix, for clear reasons - the audience of this page is not solely developer, the concept machine name does not make sense to a large part of our user base. The added value is currently also achieved through other workflows.

So we don't show machine names on the content types page anymore either, so at least now it's consistent.
