Great module. May you please add support to arrange fields on a field_collection form.

Please do not post duplicate issues. I closed this one: #1236322: Ability to arrange fields inside a Field_Collections form.

I will have to look into field_collection, but I should warn you that Arrange Fields can really only work on fields with highly predictable structures (in code), and based purely on the description of field_collection, it sounds like that might not be the case.

Noted. Sorry for the duplicate post.

I guess you can see fields_collection as an independent form. It looks exactly as a new content type that you can place inside another one. So If you can attach your css for the field_collection to that field_collection it should work (I hope)

I know this is an old post, but in recently testing with the current version of field_collection module, I was indeed able to move a collection around on a node form. You cannot arrange fields within the collection, however, which makes sense to me since a collection is almost like a completely different node.

If you need to arrange the fields within a collection into a particular layout, I suggest not using field collection, and instead creating the fields within the original node, as that would be the same effect.
