After two days of intensive research I found the solution myself. Method used : Trial and Error.
Perhaps it’s all obvious for Gurus …
So for the record – if another newbie would stumble by :
Somewhere in one of the .php files of the theme you are using, you will most probably find a template tag that will list your pages in alphabetical order: <?php wp_list_pages(); ?> (default with “Pages” as title) or <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?> (the same but without the title).
To make it list the pages in the order you have defined, just change this to <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’); ?>.

*Sigh* I thought I had found a solution myself ….
Somewhere in all those posts about the page order problem (so it seems to be a real tough opne), I came across a plugin “mypageorder” from Froman118 (?) – https://geekyweekly.com/. I made sure to install the right version.
Result : Nothing changes. OK, you can set the page order in an easy way compared to setting it for each individual file. But when viewing the site, the pages are still in alphabetical order.
I really need my ages to be ordered like I want them.
Please help a newbie !

Thanks !

Works fine now. Problem solved.
I’ll find you a nice ecard … ??
