Article weight on blocks

Hi,

I'm working on a solution where I need both open non-premium articles and premium articles that the user need to pay for on the same front page as seen on the attachment.
To have this working I need to use blocks, but that introduce a major problem for me:

• The article thumbs can't be ordered the way I want using article weight.

The only way I can order the article is by editing the "recently updated" number in the database. The sorting options like "recently updated", "title", "most commented", "start date", "most viewed" are obviously not a good solution if I simply need to put lets say the first article between article number six and seven.

Any change you can implement a solution for this any time soon? I find this very restricted today.

Thanks,
Stig
