I've suggested the ranking feature to Brad before - it's probably helping to prop up all of the other suggestions in his in-box. <g>

Chris Cooper over a quote.com used to have this functionality in the custom portfolios. When editing a portfolio, each entry had a numeric ranking field. For example:

AWRE 10
BA 20
BORL 30
CA 40
COMS 50
DGN 60
GWW 70

If I wanted DGN to list after AWRE but before BA, and GWW to appear right after DGN, I would assign DGN a value of 13 and GWW a value of 17. The list would be resequenced in increments of 10 and returned as:

AWRE 10
DGN 20
GWW 30
BA 40
BORL 50
CA 60
COMS 70

How about tossing that back into the "in" box for me? Put it right after "enhancing the search engine". :-)
