The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Problem/Motivation
The new field type category system doesn't allow you to control the order of its options. I think that would be useful so I could for example place entity reference revisions at the end of the reference category, right now it just pops up somewhere in the middle.
Steps to reproduce
Proposed resolution
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes
Data model changes

lauriiiCan we add some test coverage for this? 😇
Comment #7
berdirthere are a few categories where the current order doesn't really reflect importance. A good example is IMHO Selection list, at least for me, list (text) is the 90%+ use case, rarely list (integer) and I don't think I've ever used list (float) in my life. The current order is the opposite of that. we could use weights to improve that and then a test can assert that list (text) shows up before list (integer)?
kind of same for number, number (integer) is I think also the most common option, but float and decimal line currently nicely have the same height, not sure how that will look then ;)
(the add example for test was actually a crosspost with my comment)
Comment #8
lauriiiI agree that we could use this for re-ordering the selection list options based on what @Berdir is proposing. That seems like a perfect way to show case this feature 👍
Comment #9
srishtiiee commentedNumber field types don't look that bad IMO, will revert the changes if we decide otherwise.
Comment #10
berdirNice. Should decimal be before float given that the description of float says you should probably use decimal?
Comment #11
