[Koha] Order and number of news appearing in OPAC

[Alvaro Cornejo]

Hi Quynh

Until 19.11.09 , almost sure it is a no for all your questions.

You can, however, either file a bug report as enhancement and wait dev
staff can take the devel or do the devel on your side.

>From what you describe, most, if not all, can be done with javascript.

Regards

Alvaro
