It appears that "Taxonomy field menu" does not preserve weight order for reordered items. Updates to existing nodes or terms will cause their weight to be set back to zero (0). I would fully expect new terms or nodes to have an initial weight of zero.

Being able to reorder menu items is a important need. Losing reordering on existing items after updates is unfortunate.

Thanks for reporting this issue. It has been fixed in dev version.

Go for a taste:)

Btw, new nodes will have a default weight 0, but new terms into the menu will have the term weight as default link weight. This makes sense for a new intialized "taxonomy field menu" to have same ordered terms with the taxonomy.

REALLY happy for your response on this - I'll sit tight for your further revision. And yes, the weight choice to be derived from taxonomy for parent terms (for the child node-based menu items) is a good choice.
