[development] Node Weighting

Currently there is no method other than modifying the publishing date to order a node. This becomes important mainly with the Top Sticky flag where the node is meant to provide first experience data. I would like to consider adding to the Publishing Options a Node Weight to add to the sorting criteria for the node display. I am thinking this node weight is only pertinent to the nodes with Sticky flag set but may be easier to implement for all settings. Do others see Node Weighting as beneficial? Earnie P.S.: This work would be for some future release beyond 6.x P.P.S.: I am not asking anyone else to do the work
