News Fader - Set Order

[EG]

It would be great if it were possible to have a "set order" option on the News Fader

Very often when adding an item, I want to appear first, I ahve to create a couple of extra "new items" and copy and paste existing items around in order to set a new order for them

If it were possible to "set the order" we wanted each item to appear on the News Fader, it would be FAB

Actually sounds like a good idea.

I was thinking this as well but i never asked for it.

Next time just suggest what your thinking about then!

What's the worst that can happen?

I wish to resubmit this request -- it's been over a year now since this thread was started and I wish I had this capability now - I have been doing the same thing the original author wrote and it's very much a hassle for me.

Thanks.

Huh?

Sinse the news items are displayed randomly, what's the pourpose of ordering them in the manager? Am I missing something?

There is a news fader, and the news fader show it in the inserted order .

Oh, yes, I misunderstood. I never think of the fader - I never use it. Maybe I'll dust it off!

I decided to write a quick mod that will help adjust ordering of news items. It will be submitted to the official mod site, but you can get it from me directly for now.
