As in this comment in the code (/etc/e-smith/web/functions/navigation)? :-)

There is an issue in that the directory is ends up being parsed in random
order by virtue of a readdir() and a (keys %files_hash). You can get
surprising results if some, but not all of a particular Heading have
their Weight value changed, especially when you have multiple languages
involved.
That code has been around for quite some time and is maybe a little too
flexible/clever. It might also be better to make use of the db defaults
mechanism in 6.0beta to create manager groups and associated weightings.
