I forgot one thing: when the module is installed, existing content types would not have the "private_" in variable table. Then the field does not appear to be reordered in admin/content/node-type/<node-type>/fields until the node type was edited. The "-1" solves this.

I patched after installing the module. I can move the field, but it's always stuck to the top of the page none the less. I've tried editing the node type, changing privacy setting and disabling and re-enabling the module - all without result. Are there any DB entries I have to manipulate?

Did you tried it with the 6.x-1.1 version? We have been using this patch for months with success.

Thanks for the patch eriksen.costa. You forgot to actually make use of the weight in the node form.

Amusing fact: the maintainer of this very module wrote a comprehensive blog post on implementing this feature: http://www.lullabot.com/articles/great-pretender-making-your-data-act-field.

Closing ancient D6 issue that doesn't seem to apply any more. The patch uses a hook that I think no longer exists.
