How to limit selected items that appear on special page I have a client that wants to select "featured" entries to appear on their home page, and in a specific order that they can set and change. My initial idea was to set up a featured check box and just search for that, but I need to limit the possible number of total entries selected to 5.  

The entires come from multiple sections so I cannot just limit one section, and I need to limit how many they can select on the backend, not just how many appear in the view (that I can do).

right now the set up is with the featured checkbox, but the problem is they can just keep checking boxes and if they do not uncheck another one it will not have the expected behavior.
Just add an Entries field to the home page Single and limit it to 5? That also allows designated users to decide what appears on the home page.
