    What is the best way to display contacts in a custom order? I would like the president, vice president and executives displayed at the top. The rest of the list will change frequently and I don’t care about their order.

    I am considering just making 3 new categories for president, VP and executive and just inserting the shortcodes in the appropriate order. Is there a better way?

    That would work fine. Another option, that might be better assuming one president, one VP and executives. Create only a single category for the executives. Now put the two shortcodes on the page like so:

    [connections id=”1,2″ order_by=”id|SPECIFIED”]
    [connections category=”3″]

    Change the 1 and 2 in the first shortcode to be in the president and VP in the order you want them listed.

    Change the 3 in the second shortcode to be the category id that all the executives have been assigned to.

    Take a look at this doc page for more info on custom ordering:
