I am working with WF Review and would like to have a "featured" post that automatically goes to the top of each state category.

Example: I have a directory of lawyers. Each post category is a state. Each state can have 1-3 "featured" listings which will be highlighted and appear at the top of the page. Each category will have different featured listings as well.

Ideally I would like a checkbox to be added to the admin side of my site when i go to edit a post that allows it to be posted as featured... possibly the ability to put the featured posts in a certain order as well.

I've already spoken to Nick about this and he said it would be part of a theme, not his plugin. Does anyone know if this exists as a plugin or part of a theme already? Or should I look into getting this built?
