 * I want to list via fileaway all the files in a directory, but I would like to
   make one (or more) of them appear at the top. I thought something like this would
   work:
 * [fileaway type=”table” search=”no” mod=”no” bulkdownload=”on” sortfirst=”Make-
   this-file-first.pdf”]
 * …but it does not.
 * Is there any way to do this? Thank you in advance for any neuron-firing that 
   you choose to spend upon my query.

 * No, if you use the Shortcode Generator or look at the File Away Attributes tutorial,
   you will see the valid options for the sortfirst attribute. You can sort by a
   specific column alphabetically (if you’re doing a table; sortfirst doesn’t even
   apply to lists), but that’s it. No option to place specified individual files
   at the top of the table.
