The default parameter for sorting wp_page_menu is Page Order, see this codex article: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_page_menu
If you set the page order of each of your pages you can control the order they are displayed.
As a suggestion, set your page orders to:
(page -> order)
* The Site -> 100
* About Liz -> 200
* Notebook -> 300
o Poetry -> 310
o Reviews -> 320
o Other -> 340
o Stories -> 330
These values can be set using the “Quick Edit” link under each title on the “Edit Pages” window.
so i put this code in
<?php wp_page_menu( $args ); ?>
instead of this
<?php wp_page_menu(‘sort_column=menu_order’); ?>
and it still is not working
The default code for wp_page_menu() would be simply:
<?php wp_page_menu(); ?>
… you would not normally need the ‘$args’ unless your theme is using it.
Did you set the page orders to what I suggested, or something similar?
Otherwise this may be theme specific or even plugin related to sort out this issue. A link to your blog may be helpful … you might also find my plugin BNS Support to be useful for creating a listing of your blog and active plugins.
Hi
On much the same topic, could I ask:
I’m trying to have a drop down menu that shows it’s entries in reverse order of posting. i.e. the reverse of ‘post_date’ parameter in the ‘wp page menu’ Tag.
Would the above be the way to go (setting page order manually), or is it possible to automate this by some PHP that reverses the order ‘post_date’ displays?
Also, that it only effects one drop down menu, not all the drop down menus. For example, when I made the list alphabetic (through the ‘post_title’ parameter) all the drop downs became alphabetic. How do I make it so for just one of them?
Is it possible, or should I be considering a different approach?
Many thanks
