Hi guys,

Instead of using page templates I was thinking of having content types 
that function like templates.  Like SingleColumnPage and ThreeColumnPage 
content types.  A user would create a new object of one of these types and 
then specify what section of the site it belongs to by assigning the 
object to a metadata category.  The metadata categories will mirror the 
Site Layout Model in a way.  You following me? :-)

Anyway, this solution should work fine in theory and would be much more 
efficient rather than having to create physical pages from templates all 
the time which I don't like.  My question is what do you think would be 
the best way to control the order in which the objects (pages really) sit 
in their categories.  Would you recommend a simple property as part of the 
content type called order where a number is entered to denote the order in 
which the object sits in its assigned category/section?  If you know of a
better and more intuitive approach to this please let me know.

And finally, if you see this approach as being bad please advise. What
advantage would using page templates provide in this case?

Many thanks,
Peter Alexandrou
