How do I connect a nodequeue to the Articles view to control the order of articles listed in the Feature Block, as well as the Homepage block?
A demo was done at the conference; is there a screencast or video? This is a nagging problem. Thanks in advance.

Noqueues
Here's an exemple.
Create Noqueues for the different sections you have on your frontpage.
Add articles to the different nodequeues created.
Go in views and for the HomeBlock, Featured, etc... views add node relationship to nodequeue.
Then add node queue as the first filter for your view.
Then arrange the settings for your nodequeue filter (ie. descending order)
Make sure other filters are ok.
Job done.
This is a rough preview on how it can be done. Anybody please correct me if any step is wrong.
I'll check tonight to make sure this is how I did it.
I added a relationship to
I added a relationship to nodequeue, but I don't know which nodequeue filter to use - there is position but it doesn't provide descending only if is equal or is not. What should I do?
Sort criteria (queue) Nodequeue: Position desc
I checked my views.
And its under Sort criteria, add a criteria Nodequeue Position
and select descending if you want the latest node added to the nodequeue to be showing first or Ascending if you want the first node added to the nodequeue to show first.
I want nodes to appear in the
I want nodes to appear in the order they are listed in the nodequeue; node #1 is displayed first, node #2 second, etc. I have a mysterious problem displaying node #1, though. If I have "Story A" in the #1 position, it won't display in the homepage block view. However, if I shift "Story A" to the #2 position it will display. Although I have four articles in my nodequeue, only three will display. Any reason for this?
