  Create a custom menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#1-create-a-custom-menu
  Add the pages into it https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#adding-pages
  Create the order you want them to display in https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  Thanks I’ll try that. Does that work with all themes?

  Yes indeed it does, but let me add to this just in case you have already tried the adding order numbers option.

  re: changing the order of Pages, not Posts

  There are two approaches.
  1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that’ is all you want in it see here to use numerical order. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order
  See also https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#parent

  2. Creating a Custom Menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
  Adding Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
  Changing the Order & Creating Sub-Menus http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  Custom menu Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
  Check the 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.

  I didn’t number them and don’t really want numbers. I’ll play with it over the long weekend.

  Thanks :)

  Hi there! Custom menus work on most themes. Some of our themes have more than one menu, and some have only one. So it depends on the theme you have. :)

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!
