Display order is wrong…

    hi everyone,

    I’m using a them called revolution and it has my pages listed across the top. They are also listed in one of the columns and the list is different. I went into the header file for the theme and found:

    <li><a>">Home</a></li>
			<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2&sort_column=menu_order'); ?>

    The first thing to note here is that links to the pages are in this order:
    HOME ABOUT CONTACT LINKS BOOKS

    The side bar has them in alpha sort. Also there is a page I made called events that is not in the header but is in the sidebar.
    I looked at the source from my page and the contacts links starts with:
    <li class=”page_item page-item-5″>
    whereas the Events page that doesn’t show has a 375 instead of 5. The order of the link list is from the page ID.

    Is there a way to make is sort alpha in the header after HOME?

    Instead of ‘menu_order’ use the sort_column=post_title parameter with the template tag, wp_list_pages().

    Wow thanks! I read that page and someday my site will have more pages than categories but maybe only 5 that I would want in the header. So I made that line red:

    a href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>”>Home
    <?php wp_list_pages(‘include=146,5,7,180&title_li’); ?>

    I’m still a bit confused about the title_li and it’s purpose. It pulls the style info from another template?

    The example is :
    wp_list_pages(‘include=5,9,23&title_li=<h2>’ . __(‘Poetry’) . ‘</h2>’ ); ?>

    I read this as having my list of pages followed by a level 2 header Poetry. I could see doing the h2 Poetry first and then the page ID’s of poetry categories. Just curious.

    Anyway, thx for the help!

    I believe the title would be displayed first. Look at wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php and how the WordPress Default 1.6 theme uses that.

    The position (before, or after the include=5,9,23) of the title_li specification in your parameter list has no impact on the actual display of the title.
