Jody and gang,

I'd recommend going into the db itself (via phpMyAdmin or the command line or another tool, whatever) and check on the weight field in the blocks table.

From what I understand, the sort order of blocks on the back end hasn't really changed with 6; it's only the front end that has changed.

You might want to truncate (delete) all the data in that table and start over. Since that is a required field that doesn't except "NULL" and has a default of "0," it will reset all the weights for all blocks to 0. If you've got a gazillion blocks and maybe different settings for different themes, you might not want to do that.

In that case, I'd try just changing the weights of just the blocks you want to re-order directly in the db and see if you get the results you want.

Of course, you should back up your db before fussing like this.

Report back,

Shai

I recently upgraded from Drupal 5.12 to 6.6 and now I'm unable to
rearrange block order. I click and drag blocks to where I want them,
and as soon as I save it reverts back to the way it was. I tried a new
site within drupal 6, and that works fine so I'm pretty sure it has
something to do with the upgrade.

Any ideas what may be wrong?
