I created a simple patch that adds "location" to the fields on the "Manage Fields" tab for content type edit forms. This patch affects non-CCK implementations only; CCK location fields will provide ordering functionality on their own.

Hope it's useful.

Previous patch didn't actually change the order of the location in content forms -- it only changed the order in the node->content array when viewing the node.

Attached patch should update display weight for both the node view and node add/edit screens.

Unfortunately it does not work with the latest dev version.
This is such an important feature for maintaining locations. Why it isn't committed to the location node module yet?

needs a review...

a screen shot of before the patch and after might help too.

Once it is reviewed, if no problems are found, change the status to RTBC (reviewed and tested by the community)
