Fields order on node edit does not accept order on field-collection fields edit form.

sub

I'm not having this problem at all. When was the last time you downloaded the dev, perhaps it was fixed more recently?

I cannot confirm this, running 7.x-1.0-beta2. Works as expected, field order is correctly changed.

I'm having this problem regarding field order being observed. I'm running latest 7.x-1.x-dev (24 Nov 11).

However, field order is correct when using the embedded form (from the parent node>edit). I'm only seeing the problem when I 'Add' a field collection item from the Node>View page, ie, the fields [within the collection] are displayed in the original order they were added to the field collection type.

So, using @karlos007's example:

• On the parent Node > Edit, the collection fields are displayed correctly on an embedded form: field1, field3, field2
• On the parent Node > View, the collection fields are displayed when 'Add'ing a collection item: field1, field2, field3

Same issue here. The embedded form respects order. The standalone form does not.

The problem is with using the Field Collection Table module. That module sets the standalone Field Collection edit form to use one of its theme hooks. This theme hook is what makes all the fields appear in a nice table when using the embedded widget and editing the parent content that contains the field.

When using the standalone Field Collection form, though, no check is made to ensure that fields are rendered in the correct order - I've attached a patch that does that. All it does is look at the weight of each field widget after calling field_info_instances() and before adding them to the form.

Thanks,

@nkschaefer, thanks so much for nailing that down!

I cleaned it up a little bit to be more in line with _field_sort_items_value_helper()
