Node Form Rearrange

This module is not recommended in cases where you use other modules that modify the taxonomy form elements in some regard. Many incompatibilities have been reported in the issues queue and there's no good way of ensuring compatibility with all such modules.

This module is intended to allow for better user interface design by allowing node form elements to be rearranged individually.

At the moment, this module allows form elements generated by the taxonomy module (selects, multi-selects, autocompletes, etc. for selecting terms) to be rearranged individually throughout the node form. It should also work for modules that modify default taxonomy form elements, like the Hierarchical Select module. For setting the form element weights, the content module's click-and-drag 'Manage Fields' page is used (admin/content/node-type/[content type]/fields).

Currently, this module only works with taxonomy selections fields, but in the future it could be used as a multipurpose node form rearrangement tool. Eventually, fields and fieldsets added by core modules (that aren't already handled by the content module itself) - like the 'Revision Information' and 'Authoring Information' fieldsets should be added.

NOTES: This needs to be tested thoroughly. It has only been tested with CCK version 2. The weight of the module is set automatically in order to ensure that this module runs after the taxonomy module. Recent versions of CCK version 2 allow for field rearranging without there being a CCK field present in the content type.
