Sorry for being thick, I don't understand, can you draw on a screen
shot or something?

Yeah, it has often been pointed out that it would be good for the
headlines component to be able to list documents in orders other
than date created... What we have done for other sites (and I should
do for this one) is create a template that has a listing of child
documents in it, then you can get the listing you want by selecting
this template. At the moment 1.8 (the beta version that this site is
using) doesn't have any templates other than the default one...

I'll look at creating a template for this tomorrow.
