The last sentence of the node weight description on the node/XXX/edit page says:

Items with a higher node weight value will appear above those with a lower value.

which seems backwards to me -- lower node weights float to the top, just like everywhere else in Drupal.

Thanks, re-worded to be clearer.

I don't think the original poster was referring to the wording so much as the fact that this module treats weights opposite from the the way Drupal does. Drupal's standard--for example in menus--is that lower numbers are "lighter", and thus "float" to the top of lists, while higher numbers are "heavier" and sink, so an item with a weight of -10 would appear above items with weights of 0 and 10.

I understand that I can simply code the PHP snippet to sort in descending order and obtain the desired effect, but I vote for the module conforming to the precedent set by Drupal.

Just my 2 cents...
