How do I re-order Announcements?

From BbWiki

Announcements are displayed in the following order:

1. Course announcements marked Permanent
2. Course announcements not marked Permanent

Within each block, they are displayed in reverse chronological order by the 'Display After' date.

If you submit a permanent Announcement without explicitly setting a 'Display After' date, it is automatically set to the current date and time, so goes to the top of the list. Any particular announcement can be sent to the top by marking it 'permanent' with the current date and time in the 'Display After' field. Arranging other permanent announcements then becomes a matter of setting their 'Display After' to earlier times/dates in the desired order. This setting in controlled by the check box and pull down menus in Control Panel > Annoucements > Modify.

The same rules apply to non-permanent Announcements.

To retire an Announcement, set a 'Display Until' date that is in the past or click on the "Remove" button to the right of the announcement.
