You can use this jquery to easily sort the results. Works great !

Also in the news list in CP, it is ordered by A-Z, that should be by last send.
Is it that what you're talking about?

You are right...much easier with orderid and it could lead to a mod where you could easily rotate the news items so when the page refreshes, the news items re-oder themselves on the home page. I use the banner feature of vldPersonals to do that with content so when the page refreshes, different content appears on my home page to keep the search engines coming back.

I must admit I hadn't looked for that, and I suppose that would work, although I would prefer a simpler, visual, method of re-ordering.

Other parts of the system have a sort order (orderid), which would make this just that little bit quicker and easier to use, I feel.

In the meantime, when I'm next editing the News/Articles, I'll try your date suggestion - thanks.

Not sure, but can't you do that by changing the dates of the news item? Earlier dates come before later dates.

I think a definite "must" would be the ability to change the order of News items in CP

Hope this comes into future versions.
