Promoted Content - setting for position in carousel

Really great to see that the promotion banners now rotate automatically so users get to see all the promos without having to manually scroll.  What would further enhance this feature is for admins to choose what position within the carousel the promotion appears when publishing. Currently this can only be done by manipulation, by editing and re-publishing banners sequentially in the order you want them. I.e. if you wish to edit or create a banner that you do not want to have in pole position then you also have to edit and republish all the other active banners you wish to have positioned before it, which is time consuming. Would be great to have a setting that defines the position. Hope this makes sense.

    I agree, this is a huge win and allowing the additional flexibility to order those banners would improve the experience even more.  I'd like to add that even allowing the Admin the option to increase or decrease the time between rotations would also be helpful since the text on each banner is very limited and a 7-second pause may not always be necessary.

    Hi @Joe Venn thank you for the suggestion! More user-friendly control over the order of promotions is a request that is definitely on our to-do list. We've been thinking of something as simple as drag-and-drop ordering. Right now I don't have a timeline for development of this feature however.
