Is it possible to set the order of core fields against custom fields added on user profile page? I want to bring the status field to the bottom of the list. I'm trying the code below but without succes:

function MY_MODULE_form_user_profile_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  $form['status']['#weight'] = 100;
}

I want something in the following order for example:

  • Username (core)
  • Password (core)
  • Custom field 1
  • Custom field 2
  • Status (core)

Thanks in advance

You can just try and set the weight as follows

$form['status']['#weight'] = field_info_max_weight('user', 'user', 'form') + 10;

Have not tried it but I am pretty sure it will work. This will make sure the status will always be the last field.

Also it should be $form['account']['status']['#weight']

  • Ya I came across it from the fields ui module when I was working on a project which created dynamic fields and I was looking for something like that. There is even a hook for that function.

  • Ah i see that the status field is inside the account array. Actually what I intend to do is pull out this status field and set the weight of it according to the other custom fields one level up
