   Great stuff, thx!
2. Jan commented on September 6, 2006 at 5:00 am

   Great! I was thinking about implementing something like this for a long time. Is there a way to enable drag’n'drop for the lists?
3. Andrew Charlton commented on September 6, 2006 at 9:45 am

   That would definetely be something for My Page Order 2.0, I haven’t done an interface like that but it would be good experience for me. If I have time in the future to improve the plugin that would be on the list.

   Cool! Thanks
5. ditdotdat commented on September 10, 2006 at 2:29 am

   That’s great, thanks. I’m setting up a school site using Wordpress as a CMS and I’d say that your plugin is a must have for anyone doing this.
6. Gareth commented on September 12, 2006 at 3:44 pm

   I don’t think this works in conjunction with Widgets, my page order won’t change.
7. Andrew Charlton commented on September 12, 2006 at 3:49 pm

   It is unlikely it would work unless there is a way to tell the widgets to sort off the menu order like you can do with the standard template tags. I haven’t used widgets so I’m not going to be much help there.
8. Chris commented on September 15, 2006 at 9:47 am

   First, the page order works great. Perfect, in fact. My question has to do with the formatting of the “Pages” title. I had to change this:

   Pages’); ?>

   To this:

   How can I bring back the title formatting?
9. Chris commented on September 15, 2006 at 9:50 am

   Sorry, my above comment code wasn’t formatted right to display (silly me). It should have read as follows. I had to change this:

   <?php wp_list_pages(’title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>’); ?>

   To this:

   <?php wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order’); ?>
10. Steve Kroon commented on September 21, 2006 at 11:05 pm

    I installed the plugin, and have an extensive collection of pages on my site, but the “Manage->My Page Order” tab doesn’t display anything except the footer (Wordpress logo and “get Firefox” logo).

    Any suggestions?
11. Örvar commented on September 22, 2006 at 7:14 am

    @Chris: <?php wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>’); ?>
12. Andrew Charlton commented on September 22, 2006 at 7:55 am

    Thanks for the reply Orvar, I guess I should mention on this page that I respond to all questions and problems through email since it is much quicker and easier.
13. Alex Hutton commented on September 26, 2006 at 10:51 am

    Andrew,

    I couldn’t find your email address. Sorry to write a support request here.

    I keep getting the following:

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ on line 6“
14. Alex Hutton commented on September 26, 2006 at 10:52 am

    nuts didn’t mean to submit.

    line 6 is the call – “?php wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order&title_li=Pages’); ?”

    (omitting the less than and greater than carrots for formatting in this post)

    Any clues?
15. Tina commented on September 28, 2006 at 4:50 pm

    I did go looking for an email address but could not find one, so posting here.

    This plugin doesn’t seem to
    want to work for me. I am running the latest version of wordpress and I also
    have another plugin for pages called Category Order that I’m running
    along with MyPageOrder.

    I tried placing the php code within the sidebar of my theme (Clean Cut
    1.0) where my pages are listed but it keeps giving me this error:

    *Parse error*: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in

    I get this error whether or not I have both of MyPageOrder and Category Order
    plugins activated or just MyPageOrder.

    Any ideas on what might be going on?

    Thank you for the help… and thank you so much for developing this
    plugin, it’s exactly what I was looking for, as long as I can get it to
    work :)
16. Ümit Canlı commented on October 22, 2006 at 10:23 am

    For those who use widgets :
    I looked for the,”wp_list_pages” function in widgets.php. widgets.php file is in the “wp-content\plugins\widgets” folder
    Look for the line and change it to :
    wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order’);
    as stated above. It works …
    Thank you for the nice plug-in.
17. Mike commented on November 4, 2006 at 6:43 pm

    Try this: ' . __('Pages') . '' ); ?>
18. Mike commented on November 4, 2006 at 6:45 pm

    Not sure how to make the code display, here’s another try, this worked for me ‘ . __(’Pages’) . ” ); ?>
19. Mike commented on November 4, 2006 at 6:47 pm

    And another try:
    “?php wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’ . __(’Pages’) . ” ); ?”

    Just replace ” with
20. Morktron commented on November 12, 2006 at 1:01 am

    Thanks, it’s a great plugin, it should be integrated into the next version of Wordpress. It’s just a common sense way to order pages instead of trying to learn code.

    So thanks :)
21. Edwin commented on November 13, 2006 at 1:37 am

    Do you insert the line into the header.php? Thats where my menu is. But when I edit the code there it gives an error message or it screws up my menu. I’ve tried all the different code from the comments. Anyone?
22. ablemart commented on November 14, 2006 at 4:13 am

    Thanks for a plugin that works and doesn’t require me to program in php to get it working.
23. gorodon commented on November 16, 2006 at 9:32 am

    Great component, but a “heads up”…

    I installed it, made changes to the header however when I opened the component under manage, there were no arrows.

    I then opened it in ie7 (yawn) and got error images for the arrows and was at least able to move stuff up and down.

    I’m not sure what the error could be except perhaps missing arrow images. I’ll check when I get some time.

    Again, thanks for the component. I agree something like this should be standard in WP.
24. Andrew Charlton commented on November 16, 2006 at 9:42 am

    Yeah, the arrows not showing up has happened to people before. All the plugin files have to be in plugins/mypageorder, the URLs to the images are sadly hard coded to that location. In my next version I might just ditch the images and use styled buttons, it would eliminate a variable.
25. Gee Why commented on November 25, 2006 at 1:42 pm

    Is there a way to disable the “Pages” title that automatically shows up with this plugin? I only want the names of the pages to show up.

    Thanks for any help.
26. Mark commented on December 6, 2006 at 8:01 am

    Man, I love you.

    This saves so much time and headache!
    Brilliant stuff! Thank you thank you thank you!

    As for the arrows, the folder “mypageorder” doesn’t appear to be in the zip – if you rezip it with the folder intact I’m sure less people would get confused.

    Thanks again!
27. Ayerst Carr commented on December 9, 2006 at 4:52 am

    Gee Why, ditto on that. I emailed Andrew and will post his response here when I get it.
28. Andrew Charlton commented on December 9, 2006 at 10:06 am

    To not have the header show up use the following in your template:

    wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’);
29. Ayerst Carr commented on December 9, 2006 at 6:18 pm

    Yeah, what he said!

    heheheheheh
30. Tom commented on December 11, 2006 at 8:03 pm

    I had trouble with the up and down arrow images not appearing also. It turned out Adblock was blocking them – try exempting your site from adblock or turning it off and refreshing the interface.

    (Not the first time this sort of thing has happened to me!)

31. Wayde Christie commented on January 3, 2007 at 9:46 pm

    Great plugin!

    I noticed that if sort_column=menu_order is not the first query string variable that the plugin doesn’t work. No big deal, but just thought people would like to know ;)
32. Patrick commented on January 6, 2007 at 10:59 am

    Worked for me as the second query string parameter. *shrug*
33. Jamie Peters commented on January 10, 2007 at 4:16 pm

    Hey, I really REALLY REALLY want this plugin to work, but I can’t get it to!

    I finally got the arrows to show up, but the order still doesn’t change. I’ve tried everything mentioned above, and still nothing. Please tell me what I can do.
34. matt commented on January 22, 2007 at 10:31 pm

    I see the plugin page, I see the arrows, I have pages… but there’s no pages populating the multiselects in My Page Order management tab.

    Nothing next to Click to Order Pages and nothing in Order Subpages.

    Hi, thanks for the great plugin. One thing — some of us have default php settings such that
38. Ian Johnson commented on January 30, 2007 at 10:40 am

    my last comment is invisible because of special characters. on line 70 the plugin uses the shorter version of the php opening tag, ie. bracket then question park, instead of bracket then question mark then ‘php’. this will cause some servers to report an error.

    thanks again for the great plugin!
39. Kim commented on February 7, 2007 at 9:47 am

    YAY! After much consternation, I finally got this plugin to work. And there was much rejoicing!

    I’m not even a PHP noob — I’m a total PHP nitwit. I don’t know the first thing about PHP, so this whole thing has been trial and error for me.

    For anybody else who’s have problems with this, here’s what I did to get it to work for me. Just like this page mentions, I updated all instances of wp_list_pages to the line mentioned on comment#28 in my widgets.php file and my sidebar.php file (where my menu is). But it still wouldn’t work for me. So I searched all my other files for any mention of wp_list_pages, found it in functions.php, and changed it there as well. Ta-da! Now it works! If that’s mentioned anywhere else on this pages, I totally missed it. :(

    Also, the first time I updated wp_list_pages I got an error message too. But I found that when I copied and pasted the text in from this web page, the quotation mark is what was blowing it up. I had re-type the quotation mark (single quote), and then it worked fine.

    And thank you thank you thank you! I’ve been having fits over getting my pages to display in the order I actually want them in. This is a great plugin!
40. Dan commented on February 12, 2007 at 4:07 pm

    I’m using both mypageorder & mycategoryorder with trouble-free installation and operation. I do have a request that would be of great use to me.

    I have a main page, “Locations” and subpages for each state under it. It makes for a very cluttered menu.

    Locations
    —Alabama
    —Arizona
    —etc.

    My question is – could you possibly add a checkbox in the list to make pages hidden?

    Thanks for great plugins.

    Great plugins, would you be interested in some customization work? If so please contact me via e-mail.

42. ralph commented on February 28, 2007 at 9:53 am

    all 3 plugins work fine, had some trouble due to the fact that I had not read point 4 of the installation instructions carefully enough. be pricise and persistent when installing. Thanks Andrew these plugins are a great step forward.
43. tres commented on February 28, 2007 at 4:56 pm

    (using widgets) every time i try to edit my templates with the wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’); my whole blog dies on me with some sort of parse error.

    what am i doing wrong here?

    @40 – Kim, did you get any errors before you changed your page order list in all 3 files?
44. Andrew Charlton commented on February 28, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    tres, can you send me the parse error along with the file it is bombing out in, I’ll send you back a version with the correct syntax.

    I’m still not able to get this to work with WP 2.1.2 even when I edit the on line from:
    wp_list_pages(”title_li=”);
    to
    wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order’);

    I just get an error and I have to re-upload the widget plugin to fix it. what do i need to do?
49. Heuni commented on March 16, 2007 at 7:57 am

    If you want to change the code of you page order, you must change code in funtions.php of your theme:
    

    and in your widget file
    wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&title_li=");

    then it will work with mypageorder. the ” make the difference. it won’t work with only ‘ that.

    Thank you so much!!

    Love it, thanks!!!
53. Scott commented on April 2, 2007 at 9:47 pm

    Hmm. It worked… sort of. It reordered the pages in the sidebar brilliantly but those are commented out on my blog because I’m using the page tabs for navigation and your wonderful widget doesn’t reorder those. They remain annoyingly in alpha order. Fabulous work for what it does though.

55. Nakia commented on April 22, 2007 at 11:35 am

    OK, I have only one issue now.
    I got it set up – It works. I love it…

    But I installed a Javascript file in js folder for a video plugin and then all of a sudden, it’s back to alphabetical.

    Any ideas on why? Anyone?

    Thanks in advance!
56. David commented on April 25, 2007 at 2:24 pm

    Brilliant!

    In fact, so brilliant, it should be part of WP.

    Thanks.
57. Matthias Pospiech commented on April 29, 2007 at 3:47 am

    I tried to use your plugin in WP 2.1.3, but I do not see how to save the page order. I can move them around, but they do not get saved.

58. Matthew Alberty commented on April 30, 2007 at 11:16 am

    To get the page order tool working, just use this script in place of the current one (mine is in the header) and it looks at the page order in your admin tool. Wordpress should have activated this by default:
59. jenz commented on April 30, 2007 at 3:51 pm

    A client of mine wanted the ability to only show “published” pages and not drafts. I added in some extra code and have the details posted: http://www.sandboxdev.com/blog/2007/04/30/my-page-order-wordpress-plugin-modifcation.php

    Would you consider putting this into the next version?
60. Andrew Charlton commented on April 30, 2007 at 4:13 pm

    Thanks for the suggestion jenz, I will definetely put it in the next version. Drafts don’t show up on the front end so it makes absolutely no sense to show and order them on my plugin page! Duh.

    Also the next versions of my plugins should be pretty nifty, I’m going to implement some drag and drop ordering to make things a little easier, just need to get the interface designed correctly to handle large numbers of links/pages/categories.

    Thanks a lot, very helpful.
62. Joe commented on May 10, 2007 at 7:02 am

    Does this give the ability to reorder posts as well? And If not, does anyone know of a plugin that does?

    Hello,

    I still can’t get this to work for me.. I’ve replace my “wp_list_pages(’title_li=’ . __(’Pages’) . ” );”

    with

    “wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order’);”

    and for some reason my sidebar just shows up blank when I do that. Any suggestions?
66. Wes commented on May 17, 2007 at 7:49 am

    @Marc:
    Hey, I’m not much of a PHP guy myself, but I know enough to hack stuff up. I had the same problem as you did, getting a blank page with the above used code. (I’m also not using Widgets.) Try this:

    
' . __('Pages') . '' ); ?>

    That might work or might not depending on the theme you’re using.
67. Wes commented on May 17, 2007 at 7:49 am

    I still seem to have no luck Wes! I placed the new code in, nothing. I deactivated a sidebar widget, nothing.

    My test page is here, maybe it’ll help:

    Theres no content up yet, but the way I want it listed under pages is 2007 first. Help!

    Well, i put in:

74. SoapboxDave commented on May 30, 2007 at 11:51 am

    I hope I didn’t miss the answer to this, but I have it installed and it seems to be working fine…but…

    It puts Page (bad formatting too) at the top of the pages items and I want to remove it, but I can’t find how to do that.

    I put:
    wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order’ );
    in the Side Bar file. I have no widgets running.

    I’m really under the gun trying to fix all of this. Any help would be great!

    Great job!!! Very nice. I too wanted to get rid of the “pages’ title as I have my page links across the top of the page as I am using the Andreas04 theme. So I edited the header.php and replaced the code noted above with:

    wp_list_pages(’sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’ );

    I’ve removed the lessthan?php at the beginning and the ?greaterthan at the end for the line for posting purposes.

83. Tyler commented on July 5, 2007 at 12:42 pm

    This is just great — wish it was included in the basic WP installation! (The page order issue is clumsy and confusing in WP, and support — as always — is cryptic at best).

    This is just a great plugin and works wonderfully. Thank you!
84. Tyler commented on July 5, 2007 at 2:00 pm

    Uh-oh — even though I installed the latest version (2.2), the My Page Order plugin seems to disable the visual editor in WP.

    I’m using Firefox, the latest version with updates. Any idea how to fix this?

    Right now the workaround is for me to enable the MyPageOrder plugin to reorder the pages and then disable it again.

    Thanks!
85. Mike commented on July 7, 2007 at 7:30 am

    Is the 2.2 supposed to provide a MyPageOrder widget? There is no coding in the 2.2 release for widgets.

    Mike
86. Andrew Charlton commented on July 7, 2007 at 8:15 am

    You can use the built in “Pages” widget and set it to sort by “Page Order”. The My Page Order plugin doesn’t really add new ordering methods like my other 2 plugins, it just gives you an interface to batch order the “Page Order” that is on the individual page edit screen.
87. Jermayn Parker commented on July 8, 2007 at 8:39 pm

    This sounds what I have been after as I hate having to manually edit the .php files for the menu.

90. simon commented on August 12, 2007 at 5:35 am

    Absolutely great, i have just one request: my site has lots of pages, all with lots of subpages, so is there any chance the plugin could display the name of the current parent page when i’m ordering sub-pages, so i don’t forget where i am?

    (if the edit/view/delete buttons could also be incorporated, this plugin would for me easily replace the inbuilt ‘manage pages’ screen!)

    Hi, I have the same problem as Tyler:
    Uh-oh — even though I installed the latest version (2.2), the My Page Order plugin seems to disable the visual editor in WP.

    I’m using Firefox, the latest version with updates. Any idea how to fix this?

    I am using firefox 2.0.0.7 and WP 2.3RC1

    WP2.2.3 – MyPageOrder2.2
    The installatioin seems to have worked. I am able to activate the plugin and re-order pages in “My Page Order”, however the changes do not reflect on my website. When I go back the “My Page Order” my desired order sticks.

    From the instructions… just make sure the “Page” widget is set to order by “Page order” – I don’t think I understand this. Is there another setting or bi of code somewhere I’m missing?

    Any help greatly appreciated; thanks!

    This plugin is a god-send. I’ve manually edited the order on other installations, but this is just so easy.

    Thank you for a great plugin!

     OMG I have died and gone to heaven (which many Jews don’t even believe in, but call me a believer!). I can’t tell you the HOURS I have spent trying to sort pages. I have HUNDREDS of pages to bring over from my old site. I photographed hundreds of rock shows and they MUST be in order for my fans, and people who license and buy them!!

     So I am setting things up before I begin that arduous process. Why oh why isn’t this built into WP??

     THANK YOU!!!! Why haven’t I found you earlier! I think I need to explore more plug-ins before Wordpress codex leaves me exhausted and frustrated! I love Wordpress, but I wish their codex would link to more solutions!!
101. Jenny Lens commented on October 22, 2007 at 10:53 pm

     I forgot to mention that although my theme (Tiga) was just updated to handle Widgets and 2.3, I could not find your plug-in on the Widgets screen. I found mypageorder under the Manage menu item. I also changed the sidebar.php to post_title, and it works super duper great!
102. Andrew Charlton commented on October 23, 2007 at 5:36 pm

     Glad you found my plugin so helpful. If you wanted to use Widgets just use the built in Page widget and set it to order by “menu_order” or whatever it is. The ordering is built into WP, but you have to go into each individual page to set it, I just made a prettier interface. I do have two other plugins, My Category Order and My Link Order, that you might find helpful if you run into ordering problems with those.
103. Mohsin commented on November 5, 2007 at 10:40 am

     This is utterly brilliant, thank you. I was getting very frustrated with sorting out my page order manually.
104. Boulder commented on November 7, 2007 at 1:32 am

     Awesome! totally awesome!

     This plugin is great and worked first time for me. Just made the one edit in widgets.php and Muwaa! All better an no more trying to count pages and play with the Page Order setting..

     Great work!
105. steve morgenthaler commented on November 9, 2007 at 6:28 am

     Can you install My Page Order for me? What would it cost?
     I am computer illiterate and do not want to screw-up the site, not to mention I have no idea how to follow your directions.

     Hi!

     steve morgenthaler, I can help you.
     If you interested – mail me on scorpal at gmail dot com.

     I have one problem… How I can enable access for manage links or page order for user with Editor role?

     Currently only admin can manage order of links in bloggroll or page order.

     Thanx for all for any help.
107. RP commented on November 23, 2007 at 8:52 am

     I have a situation here, and I seem to be the only one around here (www)…

     When I load mypageorder page, I am able to grab the page I want to reorder, but I can’t drop it anywhere…, unless I double click it. But then I am unable to even grab any other page, unless I reload the page.

     Checking the browser error console, I see a “$(document).ready is not a function” error.

     In the page source, I have jquery normally loaded.

     Anyone has any idea what I am missing?

     You need to go to “Presentation” –> “Widgets”, then click the “Pages” widget and select “Page order” from the drop down menu.

115. Stephan commented on January 18, 2008 at 2:31 am

     If I enable “My Page Order”v2.2 the RTE(graphical editor) vanishes. Disabling you plugin brings the editor back.

     Oh yes, my wordpress version is 2.2.3
116. Stephan commented on January 18, 2008 at 3:14 am

     I forgot to mention. RTE vanishes only in Firefox. IE has no problems.
117. tomb commented on January 27, 2008 at 6:18 am

     great stuff, thx, just what I was looking for. Pageordering was still lacking
118. ben commented on February 1, 2008 at 3:46 pm

     Nice plugin. Vonsider adding an “omit from page listings” attribute, or maybe a negative order#?
119. Chris commented on February 5, 2008 at 8:42 am

     Hi, this plugin is awesome, however it only works in the Administrator role so I can’t give any other role usage, which sadly makes it useless to me. Does anyone here know how to allow additional roles to access this tool?

     Thank you kindly.
120. Andrew Charlton commented on February 5, 2008 at 9:14 am

     You can easily modify which user roles have access to the page. I chose a default of level 2 which includes Author and above. If you want contributors to have access you’ll need to drop that down to level 1. Find this line near the top of mypageorder.php:

     add_submenu_page(”edit.php”, ‘My Page Order’, ‘My Page Order’, 2,”mypageorder”,’mypageorder’);

     And change the 2 to a 1.

     Unfortunately, it seems not to be working in 2.5. I deactivated reactivated, uninstalled and re- installed and still no juice. Bummer cause it’s a really useful plugin.
137. Josef commented on April 2, 2008 at 2:45 am

     Great plugin — good work!!

     However, a small change in the SQL query would be nice:

     Currently it’s not possible to change the order of subpages of a page that is marked ‘private’ in $post->post_status (which DOES make sense for me — I’m linking directly to the subpages; the parent is for structural reasons only).

     Cheers,
     Josef
138. Tom commented on April 7, 2008 at 10:36 pm

     Awesome work! New installers should note the command line (’exclude= depth=1&sort_column=ID&title_li=’); ?>, as you so clearly stated, but can be easily overlooked! worked great for me, even in my theme!
139. Alan Kellogg commented on April 9, 2008 at 5:03 am

     I am not a technical person. This is what I have in my side bar for listing pages,

     What should I have instead to use your plug in?
140. Alan Kellogg commented on April 9, 2008 at 5:04 am

141. Phil commented on April 10, 2008 at 3:11 pm

     Okay,

     none of this works. My pages still won’t conform to the order. This is very confusing and I think a step by step guide with error checking is in order here. Having to search these threads is ridiculous. In any case, here it goes.

     Below is the code to both the Widgets.php which I have tried to modify according to these loose instructions and sidebar.php has it’s original code.

     My widgets.php has this line.

     if ( $sortby == ‘menu_order’ ) {
     $sortby = ‘menu_order,
