 * How can I order the pages for this array in a custom way instead of by title 
   ASC? ie. would something like ‘order’ = ‘5, 1, 26, 54’ work? (where the numbers
   are the post id’s).
 *     ```
       $args = array(
       'post_type' => 'page',
       'numberposts' => -1,
       'post_status' => null,
       'post_parent' => $post->ID,
       'order' => ASC,
       'orderby' => title);
       ```

 * set the order in the ‘edit page’ page in admin, under ‘page attributes’ ‘order’;
 * then replace this in `$args`:
 * `'orderby' => title`
    with: `'orderby' => 'menu_order'`

 * Even works with the My Page Order plugin.
