Assign different weights for different displays I am already guessing the answer is that it can't be done but any input on this would be much appreciated.

So I have my Content Type, say... Cakes! Now, I have a view named ALL Cakes! and they are sorted alphabetically on that.

I also have a view called Popular Cakes. Those can be sorted by weight and the awesome weight changer view integration.

Now, for some bizarre reason I also need a Recent Cakes view which is sorted in it's own way as the name reveals.

Now my question is, is there any way to add another weight for that view's use? 

I know I can sort by date created but that would require going to every single node and manually changing the date; in short I am losing the drag and drop functionality Weight offers.
Poking around in the Weight module, it seems they only allow you one weight per node.

However, you can just keep adding Sort Criteria to the View, based on fields you've added to the content type. So you could add a How Many Layers? numeric field and also sort by layers, in addition to weight and/or popularity and/or whatever.
