I've came up with 3 newbie questions:
1. How to reorder the News submenu items (it seems like that they are order in alpha b order).
2. I want to make some sticky news items (always on top news items), how to do that
3. How to reorder News items in the frontpage as my wish
Thanks agains for any helps

I suggest you use the spotlight function to highlight your top news story. Open the recent news block (admin / blocks / recent news / edit and have a look at the options in there).

News stories are posted in chronological order. You can manipulate the order by editing each post and manually setting a time to post each story - there is a checkbox at the bottom of the submission form. Set the posting times so that the stories appear in the order you want. You can do this retrospectively.'

Submenu order I cant remember - but have a look in admin / news / categories - you might be able to set it there.

Likewise you can use the AMS module and have full control over weight of topics.

thusly you are able to have one story always on top.

you are also able to add as many spotlight blocks as you like.

Thanks both Biteronboard and Madfish, I used the spotlight function of block recent news but it's only allow me to hightlight the items (and only 1), I want to stick 1 or more news on front page. I installed ASM module as Biteronboard suggestion too but I can't find the news weight function anywhere in module setting, can you give me any other suggestion, thanks.
