Homepage Categories & Sort by options

[Simon]

When you click on categories from the homepage it only brings up published news. I think it would be better if it was to bring up published news and queued news from the home page to let users search better, or you're limiting the ease with which they can find things. Something like having Published News all in one group at the top, and queued news in another group underneath (maybe with a sub-heading for each group).

Also, i think future versions should include some sort of sort by function at the top of a page of news stories - sort by number of comments, votes etc...

Simon,

I agree with both of your ideas, but I don't think there is a need to separate published and queued when printing results to the screen, just run them together.

Also, search currently separates published and queued. I don't like that either. I like your idea better and hope it will be implemented.

Simon, I agree completely. This is an important feature to have.

I have noticed if you have only 1 item in the category and that item is not published yet the category will be listed in the right column (Mollio template). If you click on the category title it will pull up an empty published news list.

I guess this won't be an issue as it get more content on my site.
