In the face of things like this, we often turn to the form construction to do what you want. However, you may be far better off looking at the theme function. Just take the values by key and build a table to put them side-by-side.   Nancy E. Wichmann, PMP Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L.

My goal is to build a form that lists these fields as 'nodereference + textfield' groups, in order to simplify user input. This doesn't seem to be so easy to do with form_alter(), since a multivalue field is an array of its own, so re-ordering the fields seems tricky. Does anyone have ideas on how to approach this? thanks, - bruno
