Sometimes it is really hard to show only the needed nodes in the needed order using views only. Here are some examples when you need to give a Content Manager (CM) some control over the nodes that will be displayed by the view: - you need to promote on the front page some content Item (for ex., some new Game) and want the CM to be able to change it through the UI any time he pleased - you need to show the newest Games in the block (sorted by some date), but you need to give the CM ability to override this list and show a couple of Games of their choice at the top of the list (following by rest of the newest Games sorted by a date) - you need to show a list of Items of some Type, but to make sure that some of the Items (from some "black list") will never be included into this list. The Nodequeue and Views modules will be a very useful combination here.
