When you "manage fields" for a content type, the page title field does not appear, which means you can't order where the field appears without resorting to form_alter().
I don't know how you add a non-CCK field to the manage fields page, but you can change the order of appearance of some non-CCK fields and fieldsets such as menu-settings, body, title, taxonomy, etc.

nicholasthompsonI have commited this into 2.x-dev which will before 2.2 in the next few hours. It seems this isn't possible in Drupal 5 though....
