Do asset listings allow asset weighting? I would like to make an asset listing, but order the results how I choose. We will be showing 3 items, but sometimes I want to keep an item where it is and move another to the top.
Can I do this with asset listings?

You can use a metadata field or an asset field to sort the asset listing. For example, you can sort the list by the asset created date and then manually change the date for each asset so that they appear in the order you want. If you don't want to change the created date, you can achieve a similar thing by using a metadata field.
To sort the listing go to the asset sorting screen.
Or, if you set "Direct Links" to "Yes" and chose "No sorting", the asset listing will use the Asset Map sort order.
Or if you want to maintain a certain type of sorting but simply force an asset to be at the top you can use the "List Position Settings" (details screen of the asset listing). This allows you to choose individual assets to appear in specific locations in the list.
Thanks everyone. Setting the asset listing to direct links only, and no sorting worked best for me. It works well to have it in tree order.
Thanks again.
