A _weight_ is a numeric value used to position an element within a sorted [_collection_](g). Assign weights using non-zero integers. Lighter items float to the top, while heavier items sink to the bottom. Unweighted or zero-weighted elements are placed at the end of the collection. Weights are typically assigned to pages, menu entries, languages, [_roles_](g), versions, and output formats.
