looks like the content_frontpage table is completely ignored
looks like the content_frontpage table is completely ignored
That should definitely not be the case. The purpose of that table is to provide separate ordering and feature up and down times for the featured articles.
a record is created in that table when something is featured but the ordering column in that table never changes
Please re-test. If this solution is accepted, we can change the deprecation info in the manual.
it works
correction. It work correctly in that changing the order in the admin does update the content_frontpage table BUT the front end display is still wrong

frontend
Re the above report. I can see now that the problem I reported was because of the ordering of the categories which takes precedent over the article AND that is nothing new in j6 the same is true when ordering featured articles in J5 as well. This is because the default ordering for a featured articles menu is Category order and then Article order and to truly get the articles in Featured Article order you have to set category order to no order. In other words this is not related to this PR

@ChristineWk and @brianteeman thanks for testing. I too was wondering about the order of articles in frontend, thank you for explaining it here.
This will not solve the issue, the ordering for featured is saved in the different table which is not changed on the "standard" articles list. You need to update the column
orderingin#__content_frontpageindependent from theordering columnin#__content.
