Hi, I am in the process of making an online newspaper. What Im hoping to be able to do is have stories fed into my site from The Associated Press. Assuming I figure a way of how to do that I will need a way to properly display the stories. Currently (for my test stories) I use views to sort the articles by date posted in descending order. This will work to keep my content fresh and display the most current stories, but I want the "most important" most recent story to be at the top of the list. (Sorry if this is confusing, Im trying to word it the easiest to understand.) Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I love the Radioactivity module for this purpose. It lets you sort stories by factors like number of comments, votes, number of visitors, etc.

See this article on radioactivity module for more details on how to use it and how to expand it's features.

Thank you, this helps a lot.
