Thanks for the prompt answer.
However, when I tried this out, the carousel still doesn't show things how I expected them to be.
Maybe, for a better understanding of what I want to achieve:
1. I've set up a carousel that shows the 5 latest published articles. (If I set the Order 1 setting to "Published, most recent first" setting, I get the right results)
2. I want this default behavior to be overridden. ... If there are any Pinned articles, I want them to be shown at the start of the carousel queue (still 5-article limit overall). ... To do this, I...:
a. created a new article Field, "Banner Story" (Y/N), where the Publisher can set "Yes" to items that're supposed to be Pinned in front of the carousel queue
b. set the module Order 1 setting to Custom --> Banner Story (Integer, descending)
c. set the module Order 2 setting to "Published, most recent first"
...now, when I apply #2, I do get the item with Banner Story set to Yes (there's only 1, for now), but the items that follow aren't the latest published items.
Help, please?
Thanks.
