Keep featured content post in homepage with original order

I think you can use the WPQuery

    $the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' )) ); ?>

    <?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>

        <!-- pagination here -->

        <!-- the loop -->
        <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>   
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
        <!-- end of the loop -->

        <!-- pagination here -->

        <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>


    <?php endif; ?>

and for ordering your post you can use order and orderby see reference
