   In editor, I write the following content:

   Lorem ipsum sample text blablabla
   Then some [shortcode at the very bottom]

   However, when i view the page, the generated content from the shortcode is viewed at the top of the page. Note that this is not a css error, since i viewed the source of the generated page and also there is the shortcode stuff at the top.

   what shortcode?
   all shortcodes?
   self-made short code?

   what is the full code of the shortcode function?

   link?

   I experienced this situation myself. This is clearly explained directly on the Codex page for short code functions:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Output

   "The return value of a shortcode handler function is inserted into the post content output in place of the shortcode macro. Remember to use return and not echo - anything that is echoed will be output to the browser, but it won't appear in the correct place on the page."

   So instead of doing echo "stuff"; just return all that you want outputted as a string:

   $string = "stuff";
   return $string;

   But I guess after 3 months of everyone failing to point out this simple fact you may have figured it out on your own already :P
