  The menu for site navigation reads right to left instead of left to right. I only see this behavior on the Spectrum theme. I love the theme, and I am not even sure users will care. However, if there is a way to make it read left to right, I think I would like that direction better.

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

  You can create a custom menu and establish the exact order you wish to use by dragging and dropping items into place

  I used this same menu in the “2013” theme, and it read left to right. After I saw that it displayed right to left in Spectrum, I deleted and recreated the menu with all the items in reverse order. It still displayed in the wrong order. I have now recreated it a third time, listing the items top to bottom as I wish them to read left to right. What else can I do ?

  re: Pages order

  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

  2. 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.
