I’ve seen a few requests for this over the years, but nothing seems to have come of it so figured I’d add my voice to it: it would be great if we had the option to rearrange the order that stories appear in any featured module in a Ghost blog. As a media outlet the current system of ordering by publication date simply doesn’t work for us, because sometimes you want to leave a story up for a day or two, or have a story featured 2nd or 3rd in any featured module, but not displacing a bigger story.
I’ve seen the tips to mess with publication date but as journalists we can’t really do that, what would be much more useful would be the ability to reorder through tags or a dropdown when selecting something as featured.
