I'm currently looking for a way to allow my users to sort several different field collections on one page. I've been at it for a few hours but can't get the sorting to save. Before I go ripping my hair out any further I was wondering if anyone had already found success with this. If so can you share your setup?

Draggableview module can sort entities. In order to save Field collections you need to make sure you can build a view based on these entities. If it is possible then you can have order saved and reused.

Please advise whether you can build a view on field collections?

Closing issue. Please reopen if you still have problem of sorting field collections.

Issue summary: View changes

I know this is an old issue, but I am looking for some guidance on this. You can build a View using Field Collections by adding a Relationship to access the fields.

Basically, I have several nodes with field collections. I would like to be able to sort the Field Collection items from these various nodes within a Draggableview page. I have a View page set up, but I cannot get the sorting to save (like the OP).

Any guidance?

I've had success using field collection tables to get the draggable functionality working. Edit the content type and set the field collection widget to use table. The draggable view handle shows up.
