D7 sort a view by a select list weight
Hi,
I'm working on this site: http://oma.wcltech.com
I've got a site with a Content Type of newsletter with a select list called seasons.
The idea is to build a view that sorts the items in the order:
Seasons should be in Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn order.
Any idea on how to accomplish this?

Anyone using Location Taxonomize module for D7?
I'm using Location module (lastest version) with D7. I need the city field to be associated with a city taxonomy vocab. Not seeing how to do that within Location, and the project page makes reference to some lacking features; not sure whether it is meant to support this or not. (The issue queue has nearly 700 posts, so I won't even bother to ask there.)

Miami (Coral Gables) meetup
I was lucky enough to attend a new Florida Drupal Empire meetup in Coral Gables last week at the Planet Linux Cafe (full details - http://www.meetup.com/Drupal-Miami/events/57984462/). We had a nice turnout of 15 people, including Alfred Smith, the person who put it all together (thanks, Alfred!) A few other "regulars" from the Florida Drupal Empire were also in attendance, but I'll let them speak up in the comments below.
Read moreSuggestions, please (2 issues)
Could really use some suggestions - not find solutions within the modules. Maybe overlooking. Preference by saying that I am not a module developer. (And, prefer contrib mods for client best interest as well.)
USE CASE:
Business Directory
FEATURE #1
I want good drill-down filtering of data, so using many exposed filters -- all with multiple value option. Played around with template and CSS solutions, but seemed kludgy and never quite good solution.
Problem: Hideous Views exposed filter block (depth and not-so-user-friendly select open-box, rather than checkboxes).
