This hack adds a column to the Moderator Control Panel called "priority", and allows the moderator to change the priority of any topic from the default zero to +/- 32767.
If you have a forum specifically for displaying information in a preset order, but you wish to allow users to add comments or questions to each thread (for example, downloads or frequently asked questions), this hack is for you.
It adds another sort criteria to the viewtopic display order. First, it displays by topic type (announcement/sticky/normal), then it sorts in order from highest priority to lowest priority and finally by last topic time. So for topics with priority of zero, the behavior will be the same as before the hack. You can define exactly which topics are displayed first and in which order, regardless of last post date. They are "cemented" in place.
