If I have a View and want a certain sort order, how would you guys approach it? My solution is to just break it apart in the tpl.php file, but I’m curious if there’s a better way.
So let’s say we have days of the week (just an example, could be other items, but this seems universally available). I can’t sort alphabetically, I need it to be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.
Thoughts?

I did this with RSVPs the other day and needed Yes, No, Maybe. The way I approached it was to stack attachments on each other. So the pages was Yes, the first attachment was maybe and the second attachment was no.
Hope this helps.

There are many variables you didn't specify, so I'm going with the most common denominators. This is untested, so the details may need tweaking, but one option is that you can include the actual date field as part of your "Fields", specify that it be "Exclude(d) from display" (when you configure it), and use it for your "Sort criteria".

This can be approached in several ways.
Nodequeue http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue
Draggable Views http://drupal.org/project/draggableviews
Additionally, using CCK you can use a parent content type with a multi-value node reference field and display the view at the bottom of the parent node. This is useful for creating multiple gallery instances and things like that. http://drupal.org/project/views_attach might also be relevant
