I have a page on my site where I show nodes of a certain category and right now they're in order of date. Is there a way to make them in order of their weight and add a weight (like with blocks) to each node? Does that make sense?

this isn't possible at the moment. Drupal's roots seem to have been firmly blogging. There might be a module that lets you weight nodes.

Also, it might be worth investigating the views module - apparently this will let you sort by any taxonomy, and any node data, but I haven't worked out how to do this yet. Let me know if you have any luck.

There is a weight Module

I haven't used it extensively, but it did the trick for one issue I had.

Good news: Weight Module is designed to do specifically what you're looking for.

Bad news: A recent update to 4.7 has broken the module. Don't know if/how it is still working with 4.6.

Good news: I plan to fix it.

Hey well that's no good. I downloaded it the other day for 4.6 and it works great!

Thanks!

I am building a site that uses the weight module. It appears that the weights are not working properly. When I add the weight value say '2' and save it, then go back, the weight changes back to '15'.

Another thing, The way I noticed it is that the nodes I have weighted are displaying in the 'breadcrumb' backwards.

The wierd thing is that It was working for the first 30-40 nodes. I just noticed it so I'm not sure when it began. Have any clues? Suggestions? Your help (guidance) would be appreciated.

I have these modules; flexinode, click, control panel, dashboard, hilight, image, img_assist, quotes, simple_access, spam, spam_surbl, taxonomy_menu, tiny_MCE, trackback_blackhole, troll, trip_search.

Thanks in advance,
