With the current dev branch with this #210457: Order relevant user/role/access forms by Role Weight applied, sorting is less than satisfactory when using 'role_weights_reorder_forms' = TRUE and role weights are equal. We should fall back to alphabetical in this case.
This is marked minor as the $conf setting is hidden from most users (no UI), and I'm guessing that if this variable is set then the site admin will also be setting different weights... occasionally however a site may require that two roles have the same weight.

pfaocleStill applies in 6.x, also setting Priority to normal as the option to sort by role weight is now an UI option.
