drupal weight module
http://drupal.org/project/weight 6.x-1.0 on 6.14
Main function:
The weight module is used to change the sequence of content in any list, which by default is governed by the submitted-by date. This includes the behavior on the front page. It adds a node weight to the content creations/edit page. This determines the position relative to other content.
Example function:
I use it to set the sequence of content (and teasers) promoted to the front page.
Manage:
Administer > Site configuration > Weight
Options:
You can set
- node weight to menu weight (by checkmark)
- the position of the weight selector in the create/edit form
- on which content types to display the node weight option
When you give the weight selector the heaviest weight, it jumps to the bottom of the publishing options - which is a handy place.
You must mark a content type (last item above) for it to appear where you want it to.
It works well.
