How To Sort / Manually Arrange Pages in Vertical Menu

    I am using a vertical menu widget on a sidebar displaying public pages. Its nice looking and my client wants me to keep it. However…
    I would like to be able to Manually order these particular pages in a way that my client would like. I had to resort to a cluge numbering scheme.

    Does anyone know a way to do this? Page order numbering only seems to work for the top horizontal bar menu. The vertical menu seems to be locked to an alphabetical listing only. Is that the case — or am I missing something in advanced configuration of the 3.0.1 vertical menu widget ???

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated… ZZ

    the ‘pages’ widget has a options menu (when you drag the widget into the widget area) that allows you to check the sorting according to ‘page order’

    i also think that there are customizable page widget plugins available.

    Thanks for the feedback alchymyth, I should have explained I am using the vertical Navigation Menu Widget for this since it is nicer looking. I was aware about the pages widget… I believe it came standard in the new v.3.0 WP.

    I will look into plugins but they will need to be 3.0 compliant and work with the new menu features that come standard. Not many of them are yet… 🙁

    I think I have this one figured out.

    Set up a new “custom” menu in the Menu area under Appearance — Select all pages then rearrange them the way you want in any order.
    Go to Widget area and move the Navigation Menu image into the Sidebar area but be sure to select “Custom” then the drop should show the new menu you just created with the custom page ordering. That should do it.

    You can also use sub items by moving the page as a child under the parent by indenting it to the right under the parent heading.
