Hi,
I have set
Limits -before- text-search, filtering, alpha-indexing to "Featured only"
Limits -after- text-search, filtering, alpha-indexing to "Both"
The four items you see in the list are marked featured and are assigned to subcategories not to the parent category the menu item is pointing to: www.servoflo.com/pressure-sensors/air
Doesn't matter how I order the featured articles in Joomla Featured articles settings it has no result in the items ordering in frontend view.

Hello

Yes ,
- i meant order the featured items in the items manager like you order the other items

Then when categoy view is displaying featured items only
- then it will use the ordering you have set in items manager if your configured order method in category / component parameters is :
the ordering number

Some idea / suggestion ? for better handling of this ?:
- if only showing featured items, then use other ordering (we will add new parameter) ?

e.g. category configured order is creation date,
but if category is currently showing only featured items, then use the new parameter which can be set to:
- flexicontent "ordering" number
- or we can have as an option too, their ordering number from Joomla featured articles manager ?

Well, a special ordering would be great. I mean the feature to show featured items only ist great at all. Love it.
If a featured ordering function is too much work, there is always the possibility to have a custom field for ordering. an "organic" ordering would be nicer though.

Most user friendly (and consistent) is to have an ordering option in category filter settings, because here also is the setting for displaying only featured items!
