One option would to be to create a “Featured” category, add your featured entries to that category. To put these at the top of the list, use two shortcodes on the same page. The top one limited to your featured category like so [connections category=X lock=true]. “X” would be the category ID of the “Featured” category. The lock shortcode option just prevents any changes, for example, when a user would select another category from the drop down. The second shortcode would actually be used to show that.

As far as highlighting them, using the “Featured” category example from above you can use this base CSS to highlight the entries just about anyway you want:

#cn-list .featured {

}

Hope that makes sense and helps.
