I've using field collections in an install script and there are a number of fields in each collection, so on the node form each row in the field collection is very tall. Therefore it is difficult for the user to drag the rows up and down. I've seen examples where field collections are tabulated so this is an easier task but I don't know if that is doable unless you are using the FAPI and creating a customized form. If it IS possible that would be really cool; if not it would a real nice-to-have in future releases.

Please let me know if this is built in and how to do it if so.... thanks!

There are a few modules to put field collections into tabs. I'm not sure which is the best.

field_collection_table may make it easier to reorder the items.

You can also use the "show row weights" link to change the order by entering their weights manually.
