SharePoint List - Pin/ Freeze Item to top
As title says, is there a way to pin/ freeze an item or document to the top of a List?
In the list, multiple people will update with information they've discovered, but the columns/ fields can be confusing, so I want to pin/ freeze an instruction item at the top of the List.
Maybe I need to look at using Power Apps?
I saw in a post from 2017 that this question had already been asked but hoping that there has since been an update:
Hi morgan2468 there isn't yet a Pin functionality for Lists like there is for Libraries. Some options:
1. Embed the List as a web part on a SharePoint page and add a text web part above it. This page can be added as a tab in Teams if that's where your users are
2. Add a column that you'll use to sort by and have the first entry contain the instructions - add some color formatting to the column to draw attention
3. Use Power Apps to add a custom form OR create a canvas app
Hope that helps!

How do I do this so the item stays at the top of the list, even if the user filters by that column header? For example, the item I want to always stay on top is called "Using this Glossary." My Views are set up with a hidden column that keeps the item at the top, but when a user sorts alphabetically by that column, that item falls down into the U's in the alphabet. The only way I can seem to keep it at the top is to add an underscore before the name of "_Using this Glossary," but that looks exactly like what it is - an ugly workaround. I can't embed this list into a SharePoint page because the search function is super important for users and with an embedded list, search looks at the entire site, rather than just the list.
