function _block_compare($a, $b) {

    $regions[BLOCK_REGION_NONE] = count($regions);
  }

  // Separate enabled from disabled.
  $status = $b['status'] - $a['status'];
  if ($status) {
    return $status;
  }
  // Sort by region (in the order defined by theme .info file).

    return $weight;
  }
  // Sort by title.
