How does the ja news decide to pick which articles to display on front page?

For example, http://www.tiengvietjournal.com. On the front page, under each section such as hoa ky, vietnam etc.. Each has a main article which displays image. Is there a way I can assign another article from a different sub category of the section to display or it has to display articles on the designated category?

If you are using Joomla 1.5.x, if you go to the JA News module and open it

administrator => Extension => Module manager => click JA News

you will find to the right

Article order with the following choices:

1. Order
2. Create date
3. Modify date

From my experiments, only the create date and modify date work. the latest additions (create date) will be at the top — irrespective of the category. if you select modify date, the latest modifications will be at the top — irrespective of the category.

If you select “Order”, let me know if you can make it work, I have problems with it:

Bug?? Is “Order” and option in JA News (for Joomla 1.5x)?

From my hands on trials, the proposed script changes by Hainn does not work.
