That would be in the sidebar.php code of that theme. You’re looking for wp_list_pages()
To find how to change the page order take a look here http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages and you’re looking for sort_column near the bottom which lists how you can sort/display the links.
Why does this not work for me? All of my pages are assigned a page order number. I have put the code into my sidebar:
<h3>Pages</h3>
<?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order’); ?>
And still – they will only sort by alphabetical order….
HELP!
I have the same problem as charissaproctor.
The pages are ordered nicely according to number in the
Dashboard>edit pages. It is not a cache problem, because I can make changes in to the pages and this is updated on the web.
Dough!
The solution was pretty obvious:
In the dashboard, go to ‘apearence’, ‘widget’, and ‘edit’ under pages. Change the drop down to ‘sort by: page order’. Remember to click ‘save settings’.
This was probably the first place I should have looked.
