which works great!

the thing is that it's one of the last ones now

Is there a way I can make it the next field to 'price' field?

if so, how?

Answer 1

Within this section:

<file name="admin/view/template/catalog/product_form.tpl">
    <operation>
        <search position="after" offset="10"><![CDATA[
        <td><?php echo $entry_weight_class; ?></td>
        ]]></search>
        <add><![CDATA[
        <tr>
          <td><?php echo $entry_unit_price; ?></td>
          <td><input type="text" name="unit_price" value="<?php echo $unit_price; ?>" /></td>
          </td> <!-- <- ALSO REMOVE THAT LINE FROM YOUR XML FILE... -->
        </tr>
        ]]></add>
    </operation>
</file>

change the <search> part to:

<search position="after" offset="3"><![CDATA[<td><?php echo $entry_price; ?></td>]]></search>

Play with the offset - it means how many lines after the one that is found the add part will be added. I guess it should be 3, but maybe You would have to adjust it a little (maybe only to 2).
