Answers.Text: Yes, I am using a channel with multiple entries like this-                              {% for entry in craft.entries.section('work').limit(5) %}                                   <a href="{{ entry.url }}">  <div class="mainImage" style="background-image:url({{ entry.mainImages.first.url }});">                                                {% endfor %}   They are sorted by when they were created and I want to sort them by image.

  E.g. {% for work in entry.workList.limit(5) %}

Answers.Text: Yep, you need to add the field to the page you're displaying. So if you are showing all the worklist entries on the homepage, then add your field to that page. Then you can output whatever entries you've selected in that field.

  Are you wanting to drag entries up and down to sort them? As far as I'm aware the only way to order manually would be to use a Structure and not a Channel.
  
  Alternatively if you just want to manually order them for use in a for loop (such as showing news items), you could add an entries field somewhere (in a global, a news page, a homepage, or somewhere else convenient). Then you can reference that list for your entries output. That would let you manually order them.
