How do I use an OG smartqueue to sort listings generated by views without filtering them?

Description

My primary purpose for using nodequeue is to give the content admins the ability to select which pieces of content should be featured on a given page. In the case of the smartqueue_og, I wanted to use it to select which articles would show up at the top of the list of articles on the group homepage.

So, I've created the smartqueue, which created a subqueue for each organic group on the site. But when I edit the view that is responsible for generating the group homepage, I don't see the smartqueue (nor the subqueue's) in the dropdown for sort criteria. I see that under "Add Filter" I can select "NodeQueue: Subques for MyOGSmartqueue" but I don't want to filter out all the other content. I just want to use the queues for sorting.

I haven't used taxonomy smartqueues in D5, but in D6 I am able to sort by the smartqueue, so I was expecting that this would be a feature of this module. Is it? Am I missing something?

Please let me know if this not a feature of this module. If it isn't then I will probably have to switch to a different system using a combination of NAT + Taxonomy Smartqueues (but this would not be elegant). And I guess if it isn't a feature, then this should be a feature request instead of a support request.

Thanks ...
