How to change custom weight of content type [#315354]

I'm using Drupal 6.4 here, and I went to add a new CCK content type to use for user profiles and noticed that the fieldset with the checkbox that enables a content type to be used as a Content Profile is way down at the bottom of the form, even after the submit button. (See attached image.) I feel like the submit button should always be last.

Looking in content_profile.module on line 156, in function content_profile_form_alter I see that that fieldset's weight is set to 32. Setting it to 1 makes this the last fieldset on the form (even with Location and FeedAPI in use), but before the submit button. That's the desired behavior, right? Here's a patch that changes the weight to 1.

Let me know if it's just me that's experiencing this issue or if this happens for everyone.

Content Profile fieldset appears below submit button on Content Type add form

» How to change custom weight of content type

Solution without any patch:
The problem is that user_register form has set some default weight and we can't change our weight on content type form.
We can change weight of our form or user_register form using form_alter().

Or we can change our weight in form changing hidden settings in content type edit form.
In example using Firefox with Firebug console:
Go to 'Manage fields' and configure your specified form which you want to put before user registration form (e.g. /admin/content/node-type/your_content/groups/some_group)
Run in Firebug Console:
$('#edit-weight')[0].type = 'input'
to show hidden weight and change it e.g. to 0.
