Thanks for making this great module.

It's super important to keep thie module simple, but I have some suggestions for additions:

1) Over the path field, have an optional Menu link select box (like on node edit). This makes it easier for clients to make listings, as they don't have to remember or cut/paste paths; they don't need to leave the interface at all. Big usability bonus.

2) Biggie: Somehow help clients to manually move articles up and down. This is something I hear a lot: Could we have these two articles on top? It could be done using sticky sticky, nodequeue or something custom. I know it sounds like something that should be done in "real" Views, but it's also something that's easily done in most proprietary cms'es (and joomla, too), and a lot of clients expect to be able to do it themselves. If it could all happen in this easy to use module, it would be a huge win.

Thanks again for your work!

1) Yes, I agree that menu choices would be very useful.

2) To sort with the full Views module, I use DraggableViews module. I think that would be an easy method for SimpleViews to use, and simple for end users also.

The very simplest sort would be "Node: Sticky desc" which would not require any extra modules and at least respect the 'sticky' setting to bring items to the top.
