Hi Mohammed,
It would be possible to do so, but as far as I can tell, you'd need to edit the module itself, unless I am missing something.
My other suggestion of writing a simple SQL query to do this and put the code in a block could be an alternative solution, however, not sure if that is better than using Views.

hi again listers.
first I want to apologize for the tune of the previous email. I try to research as much as I can before I post.
I have successfully produced a block with the latest 3 sticky posts using the views module as some of you suggested. all is well, i chose to view the results in a "table view" and I also got this. now, can I theme the output of that block? I don't want the results to be displayed each in a row, with the title taking the first collumn and the teaser taking the second. instead I wanted three boxes next to each other, not above each other.
to clerify this further I baste below the output of the block generated by the views module, and then below it what i possibly want to achieve.
/*** the output of the views module: <div class="block block-views" id="block-views-highlites"> <h2 class="title">Highlites</h2> <div class="content"><div class='view view-highlites'><div class='view-content view-content-highlites'><table> <thead><tr><th id="view-field-node_title" class="view-cell-header"></th><th id="view-field-node_body" class="view-cell-header"></th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"><td class="view-field view-field-node_title"><a href="/index.php?q=node/1">nattiq website on the way</a></td><td class="view-field view-field-node_body"><p>just to keep everybody updated, Nattiq new website is on the way!</p> </td> </tr> <tr class="even"><td class="view-field view-field-node_title"><a href="/index.php?q=node/3">this is a test story</a></td><td class="view-field view-field-node_body"><p>this story is for test purposes.<br /> it's sticky and promoted to front page.</p> </td> </tr> <tr class="odd"><td class="view-field view-field-node_title"><a href="/index.php?q=node/4">views module rocks!</a></td><td class="view-field view-field-node_body"><p>just what the title says</p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table></div>
/*** what I want to achieve in a poor design I know, but just to pass the idea:
<table width=300" hight="100" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width ="100"> the first story's title </td> <td> the second story's title </td> <td> the third story's title </td></tr> <tr> <td> the first story's teaser </td> <td> the second story's teaser </td> <td> the third story's teaser </td></tr> </table>
is this possible to achieve roughly?
thanks alot. Mohammed al-shar'
