It seems very counterintuitive to adjust the order of things by entering integers into fields on this page: /admin/config/user-interface/vertical_tabs_config/order

We already have a page where we adjust the order of things on entity add/edit forms, it's the Field UI. Instead of this page, I would like to recommend that we add each of these items to the list of fields in Field UI by implementing hook_field_extra_fields and allowing users to drag-and-drop them into place.

Improving this not my priority right now. Anyway, I don't have any idea of how to implement this (I checked out hook's doc but I don't see how it applies in my case). Any working example? In any case, patches are welcome. I will be glad to check out them and push the improvements to repository.

Nevertheless, a draggable sorting list would be fine ;-)

@oschuetze It's just a matter of having free time to do it ;)

First patch implementing this. Only thing pending is make admin form to render the vertical tabs list given its weight.
