How do I change the order of the form elements?

I am using Drupal 7, and trying to make a custom register form to fit my needs.

I am also using a contrib module named “Auto Assign Role” to let the user choose his role.

Now heres the issue, the fields are appearing on the form but the order is messed up.

I have 5 fields on the form total:

  1. First Name
  2. Last Name
  3. Role
  4. Username
  5. Password

The first i added via the manage fields section of Account area, the role field is added by the contrib module, and the other two field are built-in, I guess..

Above is the order i seek, but its not doing that even though i think it should. I ordered the field like that in the manage display screen, yet it still doesn’t do what i want it to.

The order i get is:

  1. First Name
  2. Role
  3. Last Name
  4. Username
  5. Password

If i set the weight of the above two fields (first & last names) to 0 instead of dragging and dropping to order in the manage display screen i get the following order:

  1. Last Name
  2. First Name
  3. Role
  4. Username
  5. Password

This is almost what i want, but i want first name to be above last name.

Is there some way i can accomplish this?

Thanks!
