Problem is that one cannot see the weights given to a set of fields. Esp in large content types this is very cumbersome. It requires you to open tabs for each field as reference for the weights.

This small patch adds a column in the overview that prints the weight value.

makes sense and code looks good. is trivial, so i move to RTBC.

i would love if this admin page actually allowed editing weights as well. is boring to reorder by clicking into each field.

Indeed. I have tried some approaches for this, and hacked some views code into helpers.module. But I want to finetune that to make a general table reorder API. in other words: great idea, but for another thread :)

committed - thanks (maybe this one waited so long because of its node id ?)

PS : this should help people get their fields ordered correctly, now that the CCK is correctly honoring weights.
There has been reports of people wandering with the 'title' textfield now appears in the middle of their node submission form.
