I did the Wordpress Custom Theme lesson, and I was wondering how to change the order of the pieces in the portfolio project? When you add a new portfolio piece, it is automatically added to the top of the list, pushing the rest of the items one to the left. Ideally, I'd like to have the same four images displaying on the front page. On the portfolio page, the order isn't important to me.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

As it turns out, there is not a regular option for this feature in the WP admin area. Which is what I had figured already. For anyone else having this same problem, however, I highly recommend the Post Types Order plugin.

It allows you to simply drag and drop your post items into any desired order. Unfortunately, anytime you add a new item, you'll have to adjust the order manually. But, it's simple and fast, so not such a big deal really.
