Just a quick question/comment/RFC.

I have 2 different collections (apples and oranges), both are multi-value ones.
I'm looking for a way to render them on the "host" node page like so:

apple 3
orange 2
apple 1
apple 2
orange 1

i.e. in some configurable (weight/order) way.

The idea is to have a flexible page building mechanism as in other (page-oriented) systems (like Typo3) so people could build a page of different 'bricks' in any order.

As of now, I can rearrange multi-value collection values (using 'embedded' widget), but different collections do not interfere: first apples then oranges or vice-versa.

What do you think?

You could probably get something like this to work in a views block with a relationship or relationships to all the field collections in the node ordered by some value they all share.

It sounds like paragraphs may be a better choice for what you are trying to do.

Thanks, you're right, I'm using Paragraphs for that and it's almost a perfect solution.
