    Hi Tim !

    if you are using the {{ list_articles ... order="by..." }} sentence in
    sections, you can do the same in homepage and actually everywhere you
    need listing articles. is that what you mean?

    Best,

    On the frontpage an editor might need to have a story from the News section, Opinion section, and Sports section. He might want to have Story 1 from News first, Story 3 from Sports second, Story 2 from News third, etc.

    It doesn't appear that it can be done.

    It actually can be done with a workaround through Topics. You assign
    topics, Top Story Front Page, Second Story Front Page ...

    As I said it's a workaround, you need to then keep track where those
    stories are in sections and assign topics there. And yes, we should have a
    better solution.

    Just thinking aloud, even without reworking the way article ordering works
    (which would be a proper solution), with some changes to the admin
    interface, perhaps we could make it more manageable (e.g. have article
    search by topic in the admin interface and then allow direct management of
    topics from the search result lists.
