Hi Guys,
First of all just like to say how much I'm enjoying using Couch. You've done really well in making a CMS which is both simple and powerful enough to accomplish the majority of requirements. Thanks!
One major feature which I feel is really missing on the product is the ability to order lists manually, i.e. not by sort method but by hand. While sorting by date / title / etc. is useful for things like blog posts, something like a portfolio often requires user defined ordering. In the project I am currently working on for example, my client will wants the ability to easily pick and choose which clients are shown in their portfolio page, and the order of these. Currently I can't provide this functionality without manually fiddling the dates on each - not very user friendly!
In my eyes the product could really benefit from an easy to use, drag and drop based ordering system. For example, jQuery's "Sortable" plugin gives this functionality very quickly, and looking at the database structure you use from what I can see all that would be needed is an additional "Custom Sort" field in the couch_pages table to hold a position value.
Any plans for something like this to be implemented soon?
Many thanks,
Barney Fox
