Currently, you have to click on edit for each item and set the weight accordingly. If you've got a lot of items in the menu or block, it will take the admin forever to rearrange the order of the items. I think it would be much easier for the admin to have a weight box besides each item directly from (ADMINISTER > MENUS) so that he can set the weight on all items, and then just push save... so it would look a bit like this:

Menu Item................................ edit | disable | delete | weight-box

Does anyone else think that this might be a useful function?

I agree you above...
'Yahoo is changing many aspects for user UI
I would suggest to look at the "my Yahoo" if you have an yahoo acoount -login
http://my.yahoo.com/
(similar functionality would imporove Drupal UI too) - without going to deep menus.
+ on every blog on your Yahoo blocks/columns
- movable action UP and DOWN
- change [+]ADD /[X] DELETE content
[ admin can assign which menu/content can be add - just like the current slectable theme option - but this option hidden deep in the user menu .. errr. 4 clicks reload away if you know the way.. a smart guy or a geek with lots of time unlike regular folks

otherwise Drupal user experience is perfect for regular geeks and geeks like intellectual challenges and complexity...

Absolutely! Thanks for flagging this, but it would be great if you could post this as a feature request by raising an issue.

I have a horrible time managing weights for nearly 300 terms on my site and perfectly understand what you mean :(
