Populi allows us to create 'sticky' entries in some places, like on the News Feed, so that certain items are always at the top. It would be helpful to have this capability on notes added to student profiles. For example, when an international student begins their matriculation we often will add a note with the pronunciation of his/her name. After a year or two, that note is long since buried in the file but remains quite pertinent!

Adam Sentz @Sam - Sounds like a custom "Phonetic name" field would work really well for that.

Sam Horowitz @Adam,
Yes of course for this specific instance a custom field would do the trick. But there are any number of things that may be valid for the long term and I would hate to have to create a custom field for each. Some of these profile additions are sensitive and restricted to particular Roles and we would lose that as well.
The flexibility of adding notes to profiles was a big selling point for us. Since the sticky feature is provided elsewhere this seems like a natural fit?
