I hope I posted this in the right place. I am at the moment restructuring my site. I am using the book module and the books have more than 31 pages. As I create pages I leave the weight at the default of zero and then I am trying to manually order them using the drag and drop feature. This worked fine until I had more than 31 items. When I reordered them manually the first item assumed a -15 weight, the second a -14 and so on. Once I got to the bottom where it has a weight of 15 each additional one I add and try and drag and drop into place assumes a 15 weight and then gets alphabetized with the other 15. I figured out how to increase the weight range within the book module but using the drag and drop only recognizes the Drupal default of -15 to 15. I really do not want to go in and manually set the weight as this defeats the purpose of the drag and drop feature.

Is there a simple way to fix this?

Sorry, can’t answer your original question. I have the same problem but would be very grateful if you could share how to to increase the weight range within the book module.

Thanks, Rolf

We are having the same ordering problem. Editing the book.module file, as explained here: http://drupal.org/node/117274#comment-246975, did not fix the problem. We have caching turned off. The book in question has about 44 pages. Whether you use "edit order and titles" and then drag-drop, or whether you manually edit the outline and set the weight, nothing changes the order.
