SharePoint Online news web part - Displaying custom field and sorting
We have a SharePoint online Intranet site with news web part and have below questions related to display and sorting. Can someone please have a look and provide the idea on how to achieve this.
1) Is it possible to add a custom date called 'PublishDate' and display this on the web part instead of default created date as published date?
2) Is it possible to sort the news item using the custom date field 'PublishDate' instead of the default modified/created date?

Is this something that is on the roadmap for SharePoint at all?
'Simple' changes like this can lead to some very powerful custom experiences.
As an example, similar to the above, I have a custom date against news called "Return Due" as many of the internal news have actions that people need to complete by a certain date.
I'd love to have a simple list of upcoming deadlines for these actions; and while I can create a web part that is filtered to items where "Return Due" "after" "[Today]" I can't order the list by that date, nor can I opt to show that custom data in the list.
- I might be wrong, but AFAIK that's not possible with the current implementation of the news Web Part
- Thanks a lot for the information and update
