Edit the node, and under "Publishing options", check the box labeled "Sticky at top of lists". Afterward, if you don't like the way it looks, change ".sticky" in your theme file.

Thanks!

Personally I'd be happier if there were weights, like with menu entries. But sticky pages will do...

You can do that with Book type nodes, or using this module: http://drupal.org/node/35984

(Disclaimer: I've never used that module, I only read about it on http://drupal.org/project/Modules.)

Yeah, that seems like a cool idea. So, did you open a feature request for it? Or find an existing one to "+1". Or did you provide a patch?

Ok, that was a little tongue-in-cheek, but it's still valid. This is open source, so the software will be what you make of it!

There was a patch to get "node weights" in core: http://drupal.org/node/5738

But that got thrown out because there is a module that will do the same thing called Weights: http://drupal.org/node/35984

There is also a way that you can create this with the views module in 4.7. The Views module in 4.7 allows you to sort by a taxonomy term. You can create a "weights" taxonomy with numbers in it and then sort by that field. At least I think that should work.

So, there, at least 2 different ways to accomplish your goal and 1 issue that you could argue deserves to be in core if you think that's the case.
