    My friend Matt suggested this:

    Take a look at http://www.dyasonhat.com/wp-smart-sort/ May not be exactly what you’re looking for but it might give you ideas.

    The solution thanks to the guiding hand of MichaelH:

    <div id="sidebar-left">
<ul>
<li id="parent-page">About</li>
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$pages = get_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&echo=0');
else
$pages = get_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&echo=0');
$count = 0;
foreach($pages as $page)
{
$content = $page->post_content;
if(!$content)
continue;
if($count >= 2)
break;
$count++;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
?>
<li id="pages"><a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a></li>
<li class="sub-list"><?php echo get_post_meta($page->ID,'listdesc',true); ?></li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>
</div>

    This will display the child pages and the custom field on both the parent page and all child pages. Nice! Much appreciated! You guys are great.

    I’ve looked at those references before, but I’m not sure how to combine them. Any chance someone could explain how to combine the two?
