Here's a way to do this -
1) Use the Form Designer to add a 'discuss_pinned' checkbox field to group discussion create and update forms. Make it only visible to profile admins.
2) Edit the jrGroup item_detail.tpl template. About line 98 find this code -
{jrCore_list module="jrGroupDiscuss" search="discuss_group_id = `$item._item_id`" order_by="_updated desc" limit=10 template=$dtpl _group=$item}
Change it to -
{jrCore_list module="jrGroupDiscuss" search1="discuss_group_id = `$item._item_id`" search2="discuss_pinned = on" order_by="_updated desc" limit=10 template=$dtpl _group=$item}
{jrCore_list module="jrGroupDiscuss" search1="discuss_group_id = `$item._item_id`" search2="discuss_pinned != on" order_by="_updated desc" limit=10 template=$dtpl _group=$item}
3) Optionally indicate that the discussion is pinned by editing the 'captured' template code in the same template. Change line 78 -
<a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$_params._group.profile_url}/{$durl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.discuss_title_url}"><h3>{$item.discuss_title}</h3></a>
to
<a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$_params._group.profile_url}/{$durl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.discuss_title_url}"><h3>{$item.discuss_title} {if $item.discuss_pinned == 'on'}[Pinned]{/if}</h3></a>
Or use the same conditional test to indicate pinned discussions by another means.
