How to change position & amount of fields in content type dynamically (means by editors)

I have a content-type, that can be structured like this:

  • content a-type A - title - summary

  - part one title
  - image
  - text

  - part two title
  - image
  - image
  - image
  - text
  - image

  - part three title
  - text
  - image
  - text

I have no control about the position and the amount of elements that can occur. I just have the types, like heading, text, image. Actually i have only fields or rather field-groups.

How can i give the editors the possibilty to move these fields or field groups inside the content type so they can determine the position? Is there something like nodequeue for fields?

Or should i alternatively cut the content-type to smaller pieces and organize it with nodequeue? I haven't worked with nodequeue before, is it possible to give a queue a menu-entry for example?

edit: Just before i asked my question i was watching a tutorial of Display Suite and if i understood correctly i can change the layout of a content-type globally. I'm looking for a solution that gives more control over each "article" created with a content-type. Maybe i was unprecise in my question...?
