   I'm having some trouble changing page order. When i create several pages, they are ordered alphabetically. But i noticed that in the edit window, there a page order field. By default, it is set to 0. I've tryed changing it to numbers or letters. Nothing changes, the pages keep beeing ordered alphabetically.

   Please, how can i change page order?

   thanks

   Hi,
   I'm having exactly the same problem. I would like to make a website of our journey through California and would like an introduction page with an index which clicks through to pages called Preparation / The Journey / Lessons learned. I'v tried change those number as well but no effect.

   On the same edit page you also have Post Slug. This seems to have an impact as well, but how it works is not clear to me.

   Many thanks for helping us out!

   The themes you may be using may override the settings that you make. There's a theme review over at http://engtech.wordpress.com I don't remember if he covers this or not.

   Usually using the widgets and putting in numbers for the order will allow you to use the page order.

   Simple when you know how - but until someone points it out to you, you spend too long trying to sort it out. But a quick forum search and a click on a link gives you the (doh!) answer. Thanks for saving me from tearing out my hair guys.

   Thanks ellaella for your nice comment.

   I wouldn't dare not do a search first - I've read too many of timethief's scathing comments to people who don't ;-)
