in ‘admin’ ‘pages’ click ‘quickedit’ below the page name, and the give it a number under ‘order’. for each page. that number defines the order the pagesget listed in.

As soon as I log in I’m in the ‘Dashboard’. I see ‘Manage’ ‘Pages’, but no ‘Admin’ or quickedit. I’m using 2.62 as this was what came with my Yahoo small business account.

Dashboard = Admin
Essentially, just go to edit the page you want to edit and then change the number of the page order. I don’t have a development install of 2.6.2, but the option should be there.

Yep… the box for changing the page order is there. I entered the order number for each individual post. Also deleted browser cache and wp cache. Then reloaded the page. It doesn’t change the order in which the pages are listed in the sidebar.

Ensure that you are using <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order'); ?>.

Is there possiblly a switch somewhere in one of the screens that allows you to switch from Alpha ordering to ID ordering to numerical ordering — I think I’m missing something here.

Ensure that you are using <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order’); ?>.
But how to do that?? Sorry for my green-ness.

Did I get the wrong end of stick? You’re trying to list some pages in a menu in a particular order, yes?
If the page numbers you need to order are at the bottom of your screen, look in footer.php for the <?php wp_list_pages() ?> function and make sure it is the same (or change it to) the one that esmi posted for you.

Yes… the pages titles I’m trying to order are those listed on the main page sidebar under ‘Pages’

In that case, I think sweetangst covered it above.

I guess I’m not being clear: I’m trying to order the titles of the pages that are displayed in the sidebar on the main page under ‘Pages’.
Now where to I find ‘footer.php’ I am totally unfamiliar with where anything is. I downloaded my whole blog so’s I can look at and for things, but I’m still confused.

Online: Admin/Appearance/Editor. It’s one of the files in your current theme.
Or, in your local copy on your machine, look in wp-content/themes/theme_name/

Ok… found footer.php for my theme as below:
<hr />
<div id=”footer”>

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

Now where to stick
<?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order’); ?> ???

OK…. Got it working:
Admin -> Design -> Widgets -> Pages -> edit -> sort by page order
Thanks to all that tried to help. I think I wasn’t clear enough about what I was trying to do in the first place
