What is News Portal ordering? In the NP settings, general tab, there is a setting for flow order. Two of the choices are:
- Most Recent First
- News Portal Ordering
Oddly, I'm not sure they work right. When I have Most Recent First set and go into Content Items Manager and tick any item other than the most recent item as Sticky, that item moves into Top Stories zone.

When I have News Portal Ordering set and tick any item other than the most recent, the most recent item remains in the Top Stories zone.

So far, I haven't figured out just what News Portal Ordering is supposed to do. Anyone got any ideas?

Ricardo, Actually I cannot order the items in Content Items Manager, no matter how I have ordering set. And, clearly marking an item as Sticky just plain doesn't work with News Portal Ordering set.

Yes, it persists. Each time I set Flow Order in the General Settings area to News Portal Ordering, the item I marked as Sticky moves down the list and the most recent item ends up in the Top Stories zone (I have only 1 item in Top Stories zone). Each time I set Flow Order to Most Recent First, the item I marked as Sticky moves to the Top Stories zone. I have tested this several times. I see those changes as soon as I change settings.

As to News Flow, I now understand how it works and will try working with it. I had expected the articles in the Content Items Manager to re-oder in that list when I used up/down arrows, but that didn't seem to work. I'm fine with it now.

But, I can't seem to set Flow Order to News Portal Ordering in Featured Sections zone and Featured Categories zone. When I select News Portal Ordering and hit Save, then go back, Flow Order is set to Least Hits. I'll just leave those as Most Recent First.

Ricardo, Support fixed this issue for me over night. Thanks for checking. Art
