A question for the more prolific authors.
Your profile page allows you to showcase ten stories, with the full list accessed via an "All Stories" hyperlink.
How do you choose which ten stories to have on your profile page? Do you just use the default setting, which is the ten most recent, or do you re-order them to show off certain stories?
I usually leave my most recent two or three at the top, but after that I like to switch them around a bit. I usually try and make room for one that has had a lot of reads, but I have a couple of favourites that I like to keep on show - my own favourites, not necessarily the ones that are most popular. Then sometimes I try and pull up one that's quite old, and that more recent readers might not have seen before.
I know some people like to have all their "Recommended Reads" and "Editors Choices" at the top, which is a good idea too.
Anyone else like to share what they do?

In your list of 'My Stories' under the 'Account' tab, you can change the order of your stories. The first 10 is what will show up on your profile.
EDIT: Misinterpreted the question because I'm a doof.
I have one story currently. When I had others, I just arranged them chronologically. And the one I had with multiple parts, I arranged it in order.

As one of those "prolific" authors you speak of, I simply leave My most recent works up. Trying to pick out individual stories to leave up would be too hard and I never really know what a story will do reader-wise until I put it up. Also, I write in a number of categories so choosing a story to "feature" would be difficult. So I just leave My most recent works on My profile page and let My readers pick which one they want to read.
The only thing I do is keep my one Editor's Pick on top. Other than that, I let the default display the most recent stories.
I have my first true-life story up on my profile page. It's called, "My Introduction to Interracial Sex" and it's based on my first sexual relationship with a black man.
I just let the latest ones stay up. I don't reorder them. I guess I see it more as a Lush journey, where I can go back, and see just how I submitted them.
This is a problem I wish I had. At my current output rate, I won't have to worry about it for another two years. As a reader, the order of stories is irrelevant. I like to graze through an author's story list, short or long, looking for whatever strikes my fancy.
I do have to add one caveat to my answer. I released a sequel to "Jerk" quite some time after the first, and I moved it down in my list so it's right next to the first part.
Of course, they made "display by category" the default since then and I've never changed it, so that doesn't really matter.
What does prolific mean? Am I a prolific writer?
After thought: there is a story limit?! And by the way your profile pic would be better if your hands were somewhere else.
Well, as I try to offer my best to anyone who hasn't read my work, I keep my EP's and RR's up on the page. I also have a story that I'm particularly proud of on the page. At the very top are any new stories that some of my regular readers might not yet have seen.
Right now, the list is:
Soulmate, a new poem
My Father's Day Gift, my competition entry
A Slave's Fate, EP BDSM
The Taking of Cassidy Lynn, seduction/reluctance
The Taking of Cassidy Lynn, part 2 RR
The Survivor, EP Novel
The Survivor: Myra's Song, EP novel
The Survivor: Be On the Look Out, RR, non erotic chapter 3
Love Birds, EP Love Poem
I feel this mix gives any new readers a pretty good sampling of my work and the various styles I use. If they are interested beyond that, they can look at my full list.KnRicHN9r5lw998r
I have 3 more EP's, but they are now only available in my EBook. (Sorry if that sounds like an add)
Hey, I just have them up in order of submission. . .that works for me.
