This is part of a dog rescue shelter website, where we post the details of new dogs when we get them. However, we have many dogs' images on our home page now that have been there for a long time - they've now slipped to the bottom of the lists. You can see this at www.spanishstraydogs.org.uk.

Please could you help - I want to move the older dogs back up to the top, how do I reorder them?

When I go to each dog's page and select 'STICKY AT TOP OF LISTS' this only moves the older dogs up in the back-end admin page, and not on our home page, where they need to be relocated.

Thank you!

Hello,
Thank you for your reply, I tried the suggestions in my old post, plus had lengthy discussions off-line with one of hte kind contributors, however I've got nowhere and was assuming since the post is now old, it will no longer be seen. This is why I have reposted today as I still really hope to get this resolved. Thx, Jo

That listing is a "view", and views are sorted by various criteria. If the view is being sorted by the date that the node is published then you would have to change the node's "published date" to change the order that the posts are displayed in, but that's a very tedious way of doing it.

It sounds like you might need to add a sort criteria "is sticky" to the view. Marking the nodes as sticky won't change the order the view is displaying them in if the view isn't using "sticky" as one of its sorting criteria.

A couple other solutions for taking full control over the order of views are dgo.to/draggableviews and dgo.to/nodequeue.

and by the way, commenting on an old post (instead of opening new one) is the proper way if it's the same subject. it will move the post to the top of the list here back in front of everybody ;)

Fabulous, thank you so much for your kind response - and advice re the re-post, sorry I didn't mean to clutter up the forum at all - you can tell i'm a novice! we've just got 'user' status on the site as it was created by a kind volunteer, and so i'm trying to do my best as an absolute newcomer - only know dreamweaver! :( Thanks so much again, Jo
