Ease of use request:

I rearranged my nodelet order today, and it took quite a while. Perhaps there was an easier way, but I used the up/down links to shuffle the nodelet order. Since something in [Me, Monks] was slow, it took me 15 minutes to update each list. [Yes, I want them slightly different - I suppose a sub-request would be an option to clone the Frontpage list with add/removes?]

I've seen pages on other sites with numeric ordering, essentially a text box used to enter a ranking for each entry. Should duplicate rankings occur, the items are ordered either arbitrarily or lexicographically.

Is this possible? Is it easy to do?

Update: Ackkk! I tried to read through everything relevant first, but missed it. Thanks for the pointer.

Should Nodelet Settings be incorporated into User Settings?
