Hi
I am developing a news heavy site and am using Draggable views in order to customise the order that new stories appear on the front page.
Works fine but I will like new stories to appear at the top of the list instead of at the bottom.
Is that possible?

just to clarify - I can get new items to appears at the top of the sortable list but they do not appear on the front-end UNTIL I save the sortable list.

But default, new items received a weight of 0 (or maybe its NULL). They get display at the bottom of list because they have the lowest weight.

When a new story arrives it has the same weight as the story below and doesn't show up at all, despite the fact that I have date as the second sortable criteria. Is there any scripting that can be added to say if the weight is the same then use the second crieria?

This should have been doable 16 weeks ago. It is definitely doable now. See image below

How can add DraggableViews: Weight (Weight) in Fields?
