The requirement is to show entries based on the priority of the given entry. The only solution which comes to my mind is to add a custom field and sort it based on it.
If some body has a better solution, please do share it on this forum
Thanks in advance

Documented here:
> If you have the Professional Pack installed, with custom fields, you may specify a custom field basename to sort the listing, by giving a sort_by value of field:basename (where 'basename' is the custom field basename you wish to sort on).
]]>This is what I got from the sample template code of my custom field:
News Priority:
With the basename as "news_priority"
And I was using "MTentry_news_priority" instead of basename because of which it was not sorting on the custom field.

<MTToplevelFolders sort_by="field:folderorder" sort_order="ascend">
<li><a href="<MTBlogURL><MTFolderBasename>/"><MTFolderLabel></a></li>
</MTToplevelFolders>
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
]]>Excuse the formatting -- you know what I mean!
[mt:Entries sort_by="field:rating"][output styling, etc.][/mt:Entries]
The above code is for a category page. It appears only to output entries according to weblog defaults (i.e., sorted by author date and in descending order). My field in question is single-line text and numerical (10-50); and "rating" is, indeed, the basename. Attempts with other fields have failed as well.
What have I missed?
]]>I've run my problem past a couple others, and they believe my follows directions provided in MT's documentation, which leaves me even more confused!
Are there any examples of this feature implemented successfully? Does it even work?
