Support weights

I was planning this.

The problem is that we don't want this module to become big. There are two solutions:

1. This module will only provide a 'weight' column in the database. Some other module will provide the UI.

2. We could provide a Views field for setting the weight. In other words, we want a view that is a form. This is related to the checkboxes-in-a-view discussion.

Perhaps we could integrate with the Draggable Views module:

http://drupal.org/project/draggableviews

(I haven't looked into that module yet.)

I'm not sure this is a good idea.

I think the request here is simply to order the flags under admin/build/flags, not items with lists of flagged content (then it'd be sort of like a weird nodequeue). When using flag_get_flags(), the flags would be ordered by their weight, so that flag links would come out in the same order also.

I think reordering flags on admin/build/flags is still a reasonable request, since it will affect the order of links displayed on node view. flag_weights solves the problem of weighting flagged content, not the flags themselves.

I second that. To make the flag link appear before the edit links, I can change the weight of the flag module in the system table to something low like -100, but it's not an optimal solution.
It would be better if it was possible to set the weight pf the flag module from the user interface.

Hi there,

I'm trying to sort the order of several different flags by whether they are set or unset in the node's view page. Does anyone know where the flag.tpl.php code is invoked from? It seems that it's invoked once per flag.

Thanks very much!

Looks like there's a working patch at #1159470: Add ability to adjust flag order on node/add/* & /admin/structure/flags pages. Let's mark this one duplicate.
