Would like to be able to place the items in a particular order of appearance on the page.

                You can tag “HOT” items with some tag and then put several catalog gadgets on the same page. 
In the top catalog gadget, you can show only items tagged with you specific tag, and in another gadget show all the rest. 
Does this solve a problem?

      Nope, no plans so far.

 commentedThis seems like an overly complicated solve. A drag-drop option to rearrange products would be much simpler and more functional. Is this functionality in development?

 commentedPerhaps this can be addressed by providing the ability to add a sort number labeled as Product Order to each product added, with validation so as not to duplicate a product number. The Product Order would only be seen by the admin on the product page in the admin view. Then there could be a feature to sort by "Product Order" on the edit page configuration to sort by "Product Order" - I really think that if this feature were developed all the other sort options can be removed, as I would think that users would be more interested in setting a custom order than using the existing list order options.

 commentedIt would be helpful to have a manual sorting order for products in the store. The available options, date added, alphabetical, don't allow the flexibility we might need.

 commentedDmitry - That does not resolve the issue. My membership goes directly to the store to purchase. The items are locked in the order of entry (descending). I shouldn't have to create custom tags, use multiple gadgets, and customize gadget search results for something as simple as rearranging the order that items appear after being entered.

 commentedWould it be possible to be able to change the order of things in the store? Right now, they go in the order added, but it would be great to be able to change their order.

 commentedThe store needs to have a sorting option and we should be able to categorize it. In other words, the store could use a lot of improvement.

 commentedIf we added new products I would have to renumber all the products to get them to appear in the order I want.

 commentedWhat I really want is a drag and drop feature so I can order the products on the page. At the moment I have to add an alpha/numerical code to the product titles to make them appear in the order I want.

 commentedI can't really visualise it. It would need an awful lot of gadgets. We have three shops, UK, EU, Rest of the World as it is.

 commentedThe ability to rearrange the order of store products...either we assign the products a number for numerical listing order or similar to the website menu we select which product the new product is before or after. This will help us group "like items" together.

 commentedPS, also if we add new products we want to put them with the other similar category products.

 commentedAbility to change product order display once entered. Once entered the product order is fixed and it is not always possible to think about the ordering that far in advance, or correct things if an error is made in the ordering. Can we have a drop and drag facility to order the products?
