I am in the process of building a small site with Orchard 1.8.1 and am trying to figure out sorting for a custom content type. I'm already using a projection/query combination, and I know those can sort by any field, but ideally there would be a way to change the sort order of the content items within Orchard without having a numeric field definition called "Display Order". I know Orchard has drag and drop capabilities for rearranging the field order for custom content types, so is there a built-in method that would let me use drag/drop ordering for specific content item types?
The best example of this would be the page I'm building is a staff listing. The CEO/owner would obviously want to be the top, and then he'll want to put each staff member in a specific order down the page and change it easily. The "hack" I came up with is just a numeric field called Display Order, but that seems fairly archaic.
Any ideas?
