   $args = array('post_type'=>'myType','numberposts'=>-1,'meta_key'=>'featured','meta_value'=>'true','orderby'=>'menu_order','order'=>'ASC');
   foreach(get_posts($args) as $item){}

   While using this code my "orderby" parameter has no effect.
   I've tried looking around the forums but can't see anything exactly the same: some things here and there are similar, but nothing precisely the same.

   Thanks for the assistance.

   I don't think posts have a 'menu order' to be organised by.

   Looking at the Codex page for the menu_order parameter:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts#Parameters:_WordPress_2.5_And_Older

   It says that menu_order is "Only useful with pages and attachments."

   Thanks for the reply, mate.

   Yes, I have a custom post type, inheriting from Page.

   Hi,

   Are you by any chance using a plugin like Post Type Order to order your posts by drag and drop?

   If yes, check its settings, it has a "auto-order" option that overrides your orderby parameter in the queries, just uncheck it and you're done.

   Similar problem here with a custom post type.
   

   $args = array(
   	'post_type' => 'cyclepanel',
   	'numberposts' => -1,
   	'category_name' => get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'CyclepanelCategory', true),
   	'order_by' => 'menu_order',
   	'order' => 'ASC'
   	);
   $cyclepanels = get_posts($args);
   if ($cyclepanels) {
   	foreach ($cyclepanels as $cyclepanel) {

   My problem was a type, should be "orderby" of course.
