    Buddies, Please help me find the code in my theme which determines page sorting..

    Theme name: Alexified

    <div id="menu">
	<ul>
		<li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo "class=\"active\""; ?> href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><span>Home</span></a></li>
		<?php
		$pages = get_pages();
		if ($pages) {
			foreach ($pages as $page) {
				$page_id = $page->ID;
   				$page_title = $page->post_title;
   				$page_name = $page->post_name;
   				if ($page_name == "archives") {
   					(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
   					echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>Archives</span></a></li>\n";
   				}
   				elseif($page_name == "about") {
   					(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
   					echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>About</span></a></li>\n";
   				}
   				elseif ($page_name == "contact") {
   					(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
   					echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>Contact</span></a></li>\n";
   				}
   				elseif ($page_name == "about_short") {/*ignore*/}
           	 	else {
            		(is_page($page_id))?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
            		echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>$page_title</span></a></li>\n";
            	}
    		}
    	}
		?>
	</ul>

    Hello there,
    Please go here -> Presentation -> Widgets
    Locate your Pages widget and click on it to open it.
    Inside you will find these options:
    Title:
    Sort by:(drop down menu)
    ->Page Title
    ->Page Order
    ->Page ID
    Exclude:
    Page IDs, separated by commas.

    I believe this is what you are looking for.
    Happy blogging ??

    The poster appears to be looking at a Page bar such as long the top of a blog, not the sidebar.

    See that bit there near the top?

    $pages = get_pages();

    Not a 100% sure but from looking at the code, I’d say it operates the same as the get_posts Template tag.

    Reference:
    Template_Tags/get_posts

    Try changing it to something like:

    $pages = get_pages('orderby=ID');

    ok.. iam a hero myself.. lol posting here coz it may help anybody else

    just like theapparatus said, it had something to do with get_pages.. the actual code for it becomes

    $pages = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order');

    and youll get it sorted out by order.. Enjoy !
