Any chance of having Featured Listings at the top of the page (with optional bells and whistles), with simple listings of just business name and number down below it? That would be awesome if you could do that.

I’d like this feature too. Currently I have a separate category called ‘*Featured*’ and template specifically for that category. I have two shortcodes placed in the post field. Let’s say the category ID for *Featured* is 1 and the category for ‘Local Attractions’ is number 54. This is the short codes I have:
[connections category_in='1,52' template='featured']
[connections category='52' template='standard']
The only problem with this solution is that the Featured listings now appear in the bottom list as well. I’ve convinced the client that this is an advantage but some might not like it.
The way around this would be to create a second category called ‘*Standard*’. Let’s say it has a category ID of 2. This is the code you would use.
[connections category_in='1,52' template='featured']
[connections category_in='2,52' template='standard']
