When viewing a section for example here - http://www.midwiferyonline.co.uk/content/137-financial

Is there a way to order the articles and stick them at the top?

I.e I the section which I've linked to, I would like those articles *stickied* so if I post another article it won't show above them but under them?


And another thing is on the navigation how can I make it so the subsections are automatically shown expanded so you don't have to click on the little + to be able to view the subsections?

Thanks!

Sure.
click on "pen" (edit-button) of a categorie, you can sort the articles.

Only change the number to "1".

Ok thank you.

What happens if I set more than one article to '1', say if I want to be stickied.

And why can't I just order them n the way I want them to appear? I.e 1,2,3....? What are the other numbers for?

Thanks!

Do you know how to make the navigation be expanded by default?

Go to Vb CMS (in admin panel) > Widgets > Select your navigation widget > click configure > Where it says 'expand entire sections....'?

Set that number HIGHER than the amount of sections you have listed in your menu :)
