Candidate standard Debut solution: entity ordering/weighing

Problem/Motivation

A common need in building features is explicit ordering of content. For example, #1558454: Ordering of slides in a homepage featured content slideshow.

Criteria for an ordering solution include:

• Apply to multiple entity types, not only nodes.
• Intuitive UI.

The Comparison of Node Ordering Modules page provides details on various options.

Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks

• Present an analysis and conclusions about which of these (or other) approaches best fits Debut.
• Post a patch on the debut spec.
