We're using a Manila installation via RSS to feed content to a page on another site. We'd like to be able to control the order of appearance of items on the other site independently of the order of their entry on the Manila site.

Is there a straightforward way to do this? (That is, is there a way to do it by editing a date or some other element, e.g.?)

The preferred way, if it can be done, would be by having a date-type field for each news item (other than the posting date). Is there/can there be such a thing?

This is a Manila site... http://manila.userland.com/.
