It'd be great if you could implement something that would allow the Location field(s) to be displayed on the 'Manage fields' page of a content type. This would then allow users to drag and drop the location field (effectively changing it's weight) in relation to other fields (CCK or otherwise).

At the moment I can set the weight of the location field manually (setting it a number value), but without knowing what the values of my other fields are, it doesn't really help...

I completely agree on this one. This would be a huge UI improvement!

using the cck location fields in a cck content type, you can do this.

I'll mark this as fixed.

@YesCT
Not that I really mind but from my point of view this is a "won't fix".
Pointing out an alternate method it's a good thing and can be really helpful for some users but it does not solve this specific issue. Also, location interface does provide a way to assign a weight but in a D5 fashion which is counter intuitive while working on D6 and have some drawbacks. And this is exactly the point of this issue.

cheers

ACTUALLY, it already has it in D6 but there's a bug in core js that prevents it from working right.

See #303189: Tabledrag doesn't hide columns when the whole table is initially hidden for the solution.

This looks to be obsolete in 7.x-3.x/7.x-4.x.

Please re-open and change the version to a 7.x branch if I'm wrong.
