I agree with this. I'm just not sure you need to make it possible with zero
code to say "it has to be exactly between the title and the description" if
the cost of that flexibility is a lot of complexity in the UI.

I do agree this part of the TTW story is somewhat under-explored though and
probably you could give much more robust hints to the ordering algorithm
(you know that beast all too well, David...) with better UI to manage it.

That's not the same as adding another API for accessing field values for
all content objects though...
