    Hi,

    I have been using wordpress for a short while and used to be able to order the pages as I wanted them. A few days ago my wordpress site suddenly started to ignore the page order numbers I put in and just goes straight to alphabetical ordering.

    I have tried deleting the page order numbers and putting them in again. I have also tried changing the permalinks. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Jen

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    Thanks Esmi – it’s my theme. I created it on Artisteer and it was ok until recently – do you know which part of the theme could be causing it? I don’t really want to use a different theme if possible.

    Thanks again for your help

    Sorry I’ve no idea but you might want to start by looking in the template file that’s creating the page list.

    What is the nature of this list of pages? Is it a menu? Look through the part of the template file that’s creating the page list as esmi suggests, and search for <?php wp_list_pages(); ?>. The ‘sort_column’ argument in this function is probably set to ‘post_title’. You should set it to ‘menu_order’.
