Description

Problem

There's no way to control the order in which featured stories appear on the home page.

Proposal

Add an admin control to reorder featured stories (e.g., drag-and-drop or a position field) so we can curate the home page display order.

  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start at the home page and the admin controls for featured stories to trace how stories are selected and displayed. Compare the proposed drag-and-drop and position-field approaches, then verify that administrators can set an order and that the home page consistently shows featured stories in that order.
