Come to Order
Since my recent writeup of the web-based aggregators Bloglines and myFeedster, I have been using Bloglines as my regular aggregator. I continue to be very happy with it. I’ve only had one complaint. You can put your feeds into groups and re-name them, but you can’t re-sort them within a group. Or so I thought.
When you add a feed to a group, it appears at the top of that group. Now, (assuming your group’s feeds were already in order, and you just want to move the new guy down a bit,) check the box next to each of the feeds you wish to move above the new feed, make sure the drop-down box at the top of the left pane says “move”, and click submit. When prompted to choose the destination folder, choose the same folder. The selected entries will be moved ahead of the new entry, remaining in their original order.
Of course, getting your feeds initially sorted can be more work, but if you import your inital feeds from an OPML file, bloglines keeps the ordering found there (although not the groups, at least for my NetNewsWire-Lite-created OPML file).
