Display Precedence Order ordering does not save via draggable or weights AND enabled displays cannot be disabled

I experienced a similar problem.
On the manage file display page for Image (admin/structure/file-types/manage/image/file-display), the 'Enabled displays" were Generic file and Image. Display precedence order was set with "Image" on top and "Generic file" below it. This was so for all display modes (default/teaser/preview).

In the mediabrowser (and all other views) the images did not show as images but as links (i.e. as generic file).
I thought I might have the wrong idea about the order and changed it around. Still image-entities showed up as generic files.

However after changing the order back to image, generic and saving it, the images DID show up. So it seems the default settings or not working perfectly. But re-saving the settings seems to do the trick. I think this constitutes a minor issue, because there is a work-around (re-save settings) and it only affects a small part. Meanwhile the module seems fully functional in other parts related to this setting.

/admin/config/media/file-types/manage/*
is media 1.x
admin/structure/file-types/manage/*
is file_entity 2.x

which one do you refer?

I was refering to media 2. drzraf (OP) was refering to media 1 it seems, judging by the path. So my 'solution' will probably not work for OP. My bad, sorry!

I'm using the media 7.x-2.x

When you set two displays in the desired order I find that they both have the same row weight - probably when generating the output of the image, displays are taken in alphabetical order.

I solved my problem by enabling "Show row weights" and entering numeric values for row weights

hope this help

I couldn't get my precedence order to save either. I also tried manually picking a row weight and saving but that still is not working.

I am not using the Media module, therefore this is either core, Display Suite, Entity or File Entity. I'm thinking it should be File Entity.

All this time and effort to set things up just to have this one glaring bug prevent the entire system from being usable in the way it is intended. Grrrr.

This error happens when using the draggable handles to reorder as well as the weights.

Adding what might be a related issue.

Displays that are enabled such as "JWPlayer" or "oEmbed" or "Direct download file with the type icon" cannot be disabled once selected/checked and the form saved. Has this functionality not been tested at all? I guess I can't wrap my head around all this work being put into this and these issues of options not saving and not saving in order making the module unusable. I guess I have to disable and then uninstall and re-enable just to start back over and only check 1 item for each file type? Doesn't that then defeat the whole purpose of cascading functionality based on the device/browser's ability?

Changing this to major as this affects all file usage on a site.

Altering the "file_display" table's weight column for each enabled item seems to allow them to stay in the order I'd like them to be in, not fun though.
