Not sure if this is something that is in the settings or not as I haven't looked 100% but it may well be and if it is then I do apologise. I'd like my posts to be displayed in date order, with the newest at the top unless there is a post that I have marked as featured or something like that, in which case it will be at the top. Is there a way to do this?

That is the normal way that Wordpress works.

You can fudge it if necessary by changing a post date when you create it there is an option to set the date in the past or the future.

The 'my post order' plugin is another way to get your posts in the order that you want.

This is the standard behavior of wordpress - on the frontpage your posts are displayed in chronological order, descending (latest posts are first displayed) unless you don't set a posts as "sticky" - in that case this post will be displayed on the top of page followed by the rest of posts in chronological order.

The easy way to set a post sticky is to hover in the list of posts over the post you wish to be sticky and choose "Quick Edit" from the links that appear below post. Now you will see a checkbox for making this particular post sticky.
