How to set js weight for bxslider module in drupal?

Question

Drupal

https://www.drupal.org/project/bxslider
When opening a page with a slider, js is loaded in the first place. js location in the footer.
No matter how I tried to add weight, nothing changes.
Since the script is loaded before jquery, bxslider doesn't work.
Where can I add magic lines?

<script src="http://masterasevera.ru/sites/all/modules/bxslider/js/bxslider_ths.js?nsc8zw"></script>
<script src="http://masterasevera.ru/sites/all/modules/jquery_update/replace/jquery/1.8/jquery.min.js?v=1.8.3"></script>

Answer 1

I moved the $scripts variable to the header in the html.tpl.php theme and it all worked. Strange, of course. Why is the weight not set correctly?

Answer 2

It is possible through
drupal_set_html_head()
or
drupal_add_js()
If through the first option, then something like this:

function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars, $hook) {
    drupal_set_html_head('<script type="text/javascript" src="path to your script here"></script>');
    $vars['head'] .= drupal_get_html_head();
}

Through the second option:

function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
  drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('theme', 'MYTHEME') . '/js/yourjsfile.js', array( 
    'scope' => 'header', 
    'weight' => '15' 
  ));
}

Answer 3

An obvious module bug that got out due to your use of jquery_update.
Specify additional parameters when connecting a JS module

drupal_add_js(
    drupal_get_path('module', 'bxslider') . '/js/bxslider_ths.js', 
    array(
             'type' => 'file',
             'scope' => 'footer',
             'group' => JS_THEME,
             'every_page' => FALSE
    )
);

по идеи этого должно хватить для изменения веса.
