   Buddies, Please help me find the code in my theme which determines page sorting..

   Theme name: Alexified

   <div id="menu">
   	<ul>
   		<li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo "class=\"active\""; ?> href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><span>Home</span></a></li>
   		<?php
   		$pages = get_pages();
   		if ($pages) {
   			foreach ($pages as $page) {
   				$page_id = $page->ID;
      				$page_title = $page->post_title;
      				$page_name = $page->post_name;
      				if ($page_name == "archives") {
      					(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
      					echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>Archives</span></a></li>\n";
      				}
      				elseif($page_name == "about") {
      					(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
      					echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>About</span></a></li>\n";
      				}
      				elseif ($page_name == "contact") {
      					(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
      					echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>Contact</span></a></li>\n";
      				}
      				elseif ($page_name == "about_short") {/*ignore*/}
              	 	else {
               		(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
               		echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>$page_title</span></a></li>\n";
               	}

   Hello there,
   Please go here -> Presentation -> Widgets
   Locate your Pages widget and click on it to open it.
   Inside you will find these options:
   Title:
   Sort by:(drop down menu)
   ->Page Title
   ->Page Order
   ->Page ID
   Exclude:
   Page IDs, separated by commas.

   I believe this is what you are looking for.
   Happy blogging :)

   The poster appears to be looking at a Page bar such as long the top of a blog, not the sidebar.

   See that bit there near the top?

   $pages = get_pages();

   Not a 100% sure but from looking at the code, I'd say it operates the same as the get_posts Template tag.

   Reference:
   Template_Tags/get_posts

   Try changing it to something like:

   $pages = get_pages('orderby=ID');

   ok.. iam a hero myself.. lol posting here coz it may help anybody else

   just like theapparatus said, it had something to do with get_pages.. the actual code for it becomes

   $pages = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order');

   and youll get it sorted out by order.. Enjoy !
