Hi,
In the site I’m working on there are a lot of lists: Projects list, Images for galleries, Services and so on.
It is obvious to me that my client will need an easy way to control the order of the data. For instance, the top 5 projects get to be displayed in the home page.
How can I give him that functionality? Stand-Alone Entry Forms seems to be a solution. Is there an easier and simpler way to handle that?

If each of those various items is in a channel entry, you could look at using related entries or the Playa add-on to associate those entries to the entry for the homepage, if that makes sense…
SAEFs are just a way of getting data into EE… how you manage and organize that data’s the important part, I think.

Hi Nick, and thanks.
Each one of the items on the list is a channel entry, yes. But how related entries can be utilized to control the order of the list? And where can the regular admin do this?
