  Just getting around to adding advanced layout features to our site, when I say advanced I just mean floated images left & right. The problem I seem to have though is that `left` is always the default position.
  
  There is a way around it if I disable left & right and use drop-left & drop-right but I think it would be more usable if we were able to set a default.
  
  **Tags:** field, position

  As there's no settings option to define a default, there's two things you can do:
  
  1. Copy / fork the field type and add the option or simply hack it to your needs.
  2. Contact P&T and make a feature request for setting field type defaults for Position select (and others).
