New User Questions! Sort?

Hi Everyone....I am V-i-n-t-a-g-e-l-u-c-y-d-o-t-c-o-m still trying to find my way. So much to learn, so little time. All of my items are unique, one-of-a-kind. I have been trying to modify what items show on my home page in the rotation, but no matter what I do with SORT numbers on listing forms, categories, and everywhere I find the sort options, I can't seem to change anything. I would like to have featured items on the home page, rather than new items. How do I do that? How do I determine which items are featured at any given time? <p>Can I show more than 9 items on my home page? <p>That's all for starters....am also trying to understand attributes, so that customers can find their sizes easily, without having to look through each item one at a time. <p>Any help would be very much appreciated and thank you ahead of time! <p>Have received some info through forums on sort...0 meaning system will go to alphabet rotation. 1 should be first line rotation and as numbers get higher slower rotation? That's how I understood it, but it doesn't seem to work, no matter where I enter those numbers. Help!

Start in Admin - Configuration - Index Listing

Then Admin - Catalog - Featured Products
