When I edit a skeleton, I can assign a weight to each template. As I understand it, this is supposed to determine the order of the pages (child nodes) in the book navigation menu. When I create a new instance of a skeleton, the links to the book pages always appear in alphabetic order, independent of the weights.

Title: Weight of templates does not influence oder in book navigation » Weight of templates does not influence order in book navigation

I found out that the field "weight" of the child nodes in the database table menu_links is not set. If I set them with phpMyAdmin the links appear in the correct order. But I still can not see, how the skeleton module could set them.

Just found the solution. Inserting this in skeleton_istance.inc after line 767 will do it:
$node['values']['book']['weight'] = $data->weight;

Sorry, I'm not sure how I could submit this as a formally correct patch.

Thanks for the report. The fix in #2 works for me as well. I've attached the patch which I'll be committing shortly.
