 Hi @dartiss,

 We discussed this issue during a triage and agreed that this should be
 done.

 For anyone interested in implementing a patch, here is a suggestion how it
 could be done:

 Add `$position` to `add_settings_field` arguments, and then save it in
 `$wp_settings_fields[ $page ][ $section ][ $id ]` alongside other
 settings. Then before outputting fields in `do_settings_fields` we can do
 a sort so that the fields are output in accordance with `$position`.
