This extension has helped us so much! Thank you for sharing it with all of us! I was wondering if there was any way we could configure it to control product order? In the magento admin, “Manage Categories” I can view all assigned products to that category and then specify the order those products show up in.

Is there a way to specify product order within the extension?
Again, thank you!

Awesome extension, thank you for sharing it! Is there a way to control product order? For example in my category view on a normal Magento layout, we can assign product list order in the grid. Is there a way to specify order within the extension?

Thanks again!

Hi Anup,

Version 2 of this extension with product ratings is available here: http://www.cubewebsites.com/blog/magento/extensions/freebie-magento-featured-products-widget-version-2/

It has quite a large code rewrite and plenty of new features, including the ability to view ratings!
