Sensei: add page attribute "menu-order" to courses and give the option to sort courses by menu-order.
My current project is an online "university" for starting a business. Courses should not be ordered by " date DESC " but my client should be able to add a sorting order to courses in a certain category and force the output to orderby menu-order ASC.
I had to hardcode in the source now to enable this.

Drag and drop course and lesson ordering is available in Sensei 1.6 – http://www.woothemes.com/2014/06/take-learning-next-level-sensei-1-6/

For anyone looking, you can add the following to functions.php to override the default order.
function add_menu_order_to_courses()
{
add_post_type_support( 'course', 'page-attributes' );
}add_action('wp_loaded','add_menu_order_to_courses');
function set_course_order( $query )
{
if( $query->get('post_type') == 'course' ){
$query->set('orderby','menu_order');
$query->set('order','ASC');
}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','set_course_order');
