Answers.Text: Thanks Jan, any ideas, once I have merged the arrays in how to get that specific order. There is an almost identical question here: https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/21732/create-a-specific-order-of-paginated-entries-by-entry-type/21734#21734 but no real answer.

Answers.Text: ok, now I get exactly what you are trying to do. As I explained in my answer before I what seperate the entries first and them merge them together in a third object. So as I your order is not exactly systematic I would make a loop based on the premiumEntries object and with a simple if = 3 or 7 or 10 (if I counted right) I would merge an additional premiumEntries Entry to the new (third) object.

Body: <p>I am working with a design that requires entries to be laid out on a listing page in a specific order based on whether they are "Standard" or "Premium". The order of the paginated listing page is as follows:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Standard, Standard,  Premium</li>
  <li>Standard, Standard, Standard, Standard</li>
  <li>Premium, Standard, Standard</li>
  <li>Standard, Standard, Standard, Standard</li>
  <li>Pagination</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>There could be a number of approaches with how I store the entries but my approach has been to set up a channel section "Offers" with two entry types "Standard" and "Premium". If the layout was not important I have the following working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% paginate craft.entries.section('offers').limit(14) as pageInfo, pageEntries %}
  
  {% for entry in pageEntries %}
    {% if entry.type == 'premium' %}
      {% include "_includes/offers/listing-card-premium" %}
    {% endif %}
    {% if entry.type == 'standard' %}
      {% include "_includes/offers/listing-card" %}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  
  {# PAGINATIOIN NAV HERE #}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, how do I achieve the above but using the specific order I need, whilst still paginating the entries and keeping track of what's been displayed.</p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-08-27)
  
  I am working with a design that requires entries to be laid out on a listing page in a specific order based on whether they are "Standard" or "Premium". The order of the paginated listing page is as follows:
  
  * Standard, Standard, Premium
  * Standard, Standard, Standard, Standard
  * Premium, Standard, Standard
  * Standard, Standard, Standard, Standard
  * Pagination
  
  There could be a number of approaches with how I store the entries but my approach has been to set up a channel section "Offers" with two entry types "Standard" and "Premium". If the layout was not important I have the following working:
  
  ```
  {% paginate craft.entries.section('offers').limit(14) as pageInfo, pageEntries %}
  
  {% for entry in pageEntries %}
    {% if entry.type == 'premium' %}
      {% include "_includes/offers/listing-card-premium" %}
    {% endif %}
    {% if entry.type == 'standard' %}
      {% include "_includes/offers/listing-card" %}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  
  {# PAGINATIOIN NAV HERE #}
  
  ```
  
  My question is, how do I achieve the above but using the specific order I need, whilst still paginating the entries and keeping track of what's been displayed.

  If I get you right, you want to exclude the premium entries from the others? Carefull, code is not tested ;)
  
  ```
  {% set premiumEntries = craft.entries({
      section: 'offers',
      entry-type: 'premium',
      order: 'postDate desc'
  }) %}
  
  {% set standardEntries = craft.entries({
      section: 'offers',
      entry-type: 'standard',
      order: 'postDate desc'
  }) %}
  
  ```
  
  Then you need to do a loop to merge the standard to the premium.
  Something like this
  [Merge two arrays of ElementModels?](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/4475/merge-two-arrays-of-elementmodels)
  
  ... and finally paginate trough all of them.
  Hope that helps.
