Sort children by menu order

  • I found this on the wp_list_pages template tag FAQ:

    <?php
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=&sort_column=menu_order');
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

    I modified it to sort by menu_order, which works for any parent pages, but not for the children. Any help is appreciated.

  • One alternative:

    <?php
$args=array(
  'orderby' => 'menu_order',
  'order'=>'ASC',
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of Pages sorted in menu order';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    I need to have the children show up in their own unordered list (with each page in a list under the parent), which is also a list, like this:

    <ul>
<li>Parent Page</li>
  <ul>
  <li>Child Page</li>
  </ul>
<li>Another Page (not related to Parent Page)</li>
</ul>

    Is that possible?

    Not sure. Might look to see if the My Page Order plugin will help you.

    As an update for future readers, the original code I posted above actually does work; set the first child at 1 instead of 0 and it sorts fine.
