Set Order of Entries What is the best way to set a logic order on a channel of entries. I'd like to be able to set the order of each entry (any unset can default to date afterwards).

Would the best way be just a text field and enter a number? Or is there some other structure?
If you explicitly want a Channel of entries, then you should go with a number field. If, however, you'd use a Structure (with 1 level max), you'd be able to drag and drop entries and use that to order 'em.
