Views Integration

The Weight module includes a default view that is disabled by default. This view provides a table of node titles that can be reordered using a drag-and-drop interface. The view can be customized to meet your needs, or a new view can be created.

Add a "weight" field to your content type

First, you need to create a field of type weight in your content type you want to order.

Create a View

• Add a weight field to your content type
• Create a new view with a Page display (Usually called 'Re-order + your content type name' or similar)
• To use drag-and-drop reordering, set the style to "Table"
• Add a Title field to see which node you are re-ordering
• Add a Weight Selector field to the view, but not as the first field
• Sort the re-ordering View by Weight ASC (as well as any other views you want to re-order)
• Ensure only appropriate roles have access to the view
