I am looking for a simple way to sort a user listing view by each badge weight*, right now i must put a number in front of the badge name to order them correctly

*an option to change a badge id(bid) would also work

I need this for a clan roster with ranks, if I change a user's badge/rank the view should update properly

here's an example i'm working on: http://tactiqc.com/roster

Maybe you should use the profile module to assign the ranks, and use the rules module to assign the appropriate badge whenever the user's profile is updated (does profile allow you to set fields the user themselves cannot change?). Then you can order the view based on the rank in the profile field.

That's my suggestion for your situation. I'll probably add badge weight as a sort option, too. It can't hurt.

Rules is a fantastic module in my opinion. After CCK and views, it seems to be one of those "fixes everything" modules.
