Custom ordering for Board members on website

[hlapp]

Looking at the output code, there's no ordering, so I'll need to add a custom ordering parameter - shouldn't take too long. Which of these sounds better?

• alphabetic
• president, secretary, treasurer, alphabetic
• every person gets a number assigned to them so we can weight their entries manually.
• other?

I'd also suggest something about length of service/seniority sort but that info will be harder to find so I'd rather not unless everyone else really loves it.

Either that, or chronologic after the officers. I have a slight preference towards alphabetic, but so long as officers are listed first, the ordering of the Directors At-Large doesn't matter much to me.

@yochannah did I read this right that you volunteered to care of this?

Hi,
I have gone through the codebase and have found it to be great. If this issue is still open for contribution, I would like to work on it. Can I do so and if yes then can someone please guide me in this regard? Thanks!

Hey @sankha555 - thanks so much for volunteering! I missed this earlier and @nlharris kindly just brought this to my attention. Are you still interested?

To get started - my suggestion would be to do the following:

1. clone the site
2. set up a wordpress install on your machine (To host it, I use MAMP, the mac version of apache, mysql, and php, but if you use windows you might want WAMP, or a linux setup of apache/mysql/php).

Let me know if you get that far and I can point you to the file that I think needs to be modified.
