  Is there anybody who can tell me what “Order” means in relation to new pages? I have taken the picture of of it and posted it at this link:

  I tried changing the number to 1, 2, 3 etc but did not see any particular changes. I thought it was for order of menu items but couldn’t see any changes.

  When you reply, please could you also let me know if there is a way to paste a picture on these forums instead of linking them somewhere else which people may be reluctant to click on for fear of malicious items.

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There are two approaches you can use.
  Page Order – Page attributes module order numerically rather than alphabetically

  A custom menu is the better approach. But if you have a custom menu then you must establish consistency. Check the Pages sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

  Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved

  Thanks for your assistance.

  I will look at custom Menus because that is something I may use it when I have many pages/posts that need to be accessed all the time. I need info for 6 years at any point in time on my site so there will be a need to design something that is efficient.

  Thanks.
