Joomla! extensions

I would like to change the order of some of the fields on the joomla user profile...

The idea is that order is created by this joomla file (profile.xml):

plugins\user\profile\profiles\profile.xml

We tried some time ago to make something automatic from our component, in order to manage that file, but became to be complicated (if file have no writing rights for example), so the best way is to modify the file manually.

Is very easy, the code you must move in file (up or down) is like this one:

<field
    name="address1"
    type="text"
    id="address1"
    description="PLG_USER_PROFILE_FIELD_ADDRESS1_DESC"
    filter="string"
    label="PLG_USER_PROFILE_FIELD_ADDRESS1_LABEL"
    message="PLG_USER_PROFILE_FIELD_ADDRESS1_MESSAGE"
    size="30"
/>
