Is there a way to arrange the order of articles that are "posted to front"? Or in a view? I have a view called Fall Happenings on the left side of this page and it would be nice to arrange the order of these. http://vacountrylife.net/ Am I missing something? TIA! The Fall Happenings is a block but also a view - all of my articles post there as well as in the middle (if I click Post to Front on the article). I have rearranged blocks no problem. I want to rearrange articles in a view or just ones Posted to Front. Has anyone tried Nodeorder Design? That looks like what I'd like to do.

Have you tried this module? Assuming the order has nothing to do with date posted, right
node order
It does post in the order the article was created. I have not tried that, I've heard of it (today) and am looking into Nodeorder as well.

node order
So guess what I did? I reordered the node arrangement in my view by changing the sort from date created to date last revision! So, while I check out modules for this, I can just update things in the order that I want them to appear!
Let me add now that that was a bad idea. So what I did instead was add the weight field to articles, then in the view added Content:weight for article, then rearranged it to sort by weight. It seems to.

Nodequeue
If you're using taxonomy, nodeorder seems to be a good way to go. But otherwise I would use nodequeue. I've also used weight before, but would always wind up switching to nodequeue.
I'm sure you've seen this but here's a comparison of similar type node order modules:

good luck!
Nodequeue
Someone did point that out to me today. Although they said it had too many clicks. I'll give it a try. Someone also mentioned added a weight field to content type and order view by weight. For some reason I thought that was a default, but I want to look into that as well, and nodeorder.
I sure appreciate the community!
