The weight of blocks placed in the dashboard are not saved. When placing a new block above management and saving, it drops below when saved. See attached the attached screenshots where the recent comments block is placed at the top and drops to the bottom on save.

This is indeed a bit wierd, when you have a lot of dashboard items and put a new one in the middle. It sinks to the bottom? The weighting should be ruled by the user, not by some kind of automation. Its likely that empty blocks will be filled, over time anyway - so lets not make empty blocks a exception to how users expect this to behave.
