... I think that the functionality to order attributes is misplaced in 
FileTypes, especially if People is the only app that makes use out of it; I 
think it's neither intuitive nor powerful this way.
Either FileTypes should grow some kind of UI designer for attributes (to make 
that actually useful), or that functionality would better be put into People 
directly (best using a grid and drag&drop). IMO the current solution is not 
really optimal.
Also, if not done yet, I would add a "configure attributes" menu item to People 
that launches FileTypes with the right MIME type already selected.

Bye,
