A non-sold out draw to rank higher than a sold out draw on the website

Summary:
When there are two draws for the same lottery opened, and one is sold out, we want the non-sold out draw to be ranked higher than the sold-out draw (without having to close the sold out draw). This is so that customers can keep converting in the open draw, while also having the sold out draw information accessible on the website
Current Impact:
When we sell out a Mater Cars for Cancer lottery, the sold out draw remains the main CFC draw that is displayed on the CFC landing page: www.materlotteries.com.au/mater-cars-for-cancer
When we have advertising that redirects to www.materlotteries.com.au/mater-cars-for-cancer we would prefer that the open and non-sold out draw is the featured draw. We would like to keep the sold-out draw open on the website so that supporters still have information about the game details.
Current workaround:
In order to get the open and non-sold out draw to appear as the featured CFC draw, the sold-out has to be changed to the ‘closed’ status. With the recent sell out of CFC97 we had to close this game to make CFC98 the featured draw for Cars for Cancer because we use a redirect from this URL - www.carsforcancer.com.au for advertising. We would like to avoid directing any advertising traffic to the sold out draw, without having to actually close the draw.
Desired Outcome:
Either:
- Alter the draw ranking parameters so that an open draw is ranked above a sold out draw
- Create a feature placement that can be used at the lottery product level (i.e. feature placement for Mater Prize Home and CFC, which is different to the overall feature placement on the main webpage.

Hey Kay,
Just to clarify what you would hope for in this scenario:
- MPH has two draws - 1234 and 1235
- 1234 is closing before 1235.
- 1234 is currently ranked higher than 1235
In the event that MPH 1234 moves to a "sold out" state then...
- The highest-ranked MPH draw would be 1235, followed by MPH 1234.
- the /mater-prize-home URL would actually show MPH 1235.
- the navigation items and feature banner would automatically switch to MPH 1235.
