Narrative:
Turning base to runway; and copilot asked for flaps 10......at that point; we received a trailing edge disagreement light. We tried reselecting the lower to higher flap setting; to no avail. I then notified ATC that we needed vectors thru the final to take care of the checklist. I then got out the irregular procedure; and determined that we needed to land with flaps 15. ATC was notified to have equipment standing by; just in case of a hot brake situation. The flight attendants were told that we were landing with an irregular flap position; and that we anticipated a normal landing. We checked the landing distance; for the other runway (airport configuration changed); and notified ATC that we would like priority handling; since our landing fuel was showing approximately 2.7.....we actually landed with 3.4; and had un uneventful landing.
