    I want to retrieve a custom set of pages and sort them manually (in the post__in order)

    my code is:

    query_posts(array(
'post__in'=>array('16','20','22'),
'post_type'=>'page',
'order' => 'post__in'
));

if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
	the_title();
 endwhile;

    But the output is the titles ordered by date.
    I am using the 'order' => 'post__in' as used in this article.

    as far as i can read, that article uses:

    'orderby' => 'post__in'

    it also assumes that you have activated that plugin.

    Thanks alchymyth, I am using the plugin at the moment. My question was more about the wordpress core. If I can have that result without using a third party plugin.
    I want just to display posts in a specified order.
    I could do multiple loops using WPquery but this is a funny solution 🙂

    This page has all the available options you can pass into ‘orderby’ without using any plugin. Perhaps one of them is what you’re looking for?
