This gives you quite a bit of<br>flexibility. Such a feature has been asked for from modules such as Image<br>Attach and Taxonomy Image.

There<br>are several potential problems with that scenario:<br>1) Sacrelgious though may sound, there are sites that don't have CCK installed.<br>2) It seems that most contributed modules do not bother telling CCK about<br> about their content sections, so they cannot be reordered with CCK.<br>3) Even when those developers do tell CCK, occasionally they do it incorrectly,<br> again leaving CCK without the correct capability.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Courier New" size="2"></font> </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" size="2">The Section Order module works with or without CCK. Since it runs at the highest<br>module weight, it will always be the last module to look at the content. This<br>means that it will not get stomped on by other modules. If CCK is running, SO<br>will simply alter CCK's weight values or provide section weights if CCK doesn't<br>already know about them. If CCK is not available, then SO will alter the section<br>weight directly. Either way, you get the desired order.<br> </font></div><p><font face="bookman old style, new york, times, serif" color="#ff007f" size="4"><em><strong>Nancy E.
