See those nicely ordered links in the sidebar?
“Projects, Mentions, Web Development Tools”
Thank the WordPress documentarians for that. This theme (wp_svbtle) doesn’t sort them by page_order by default. You have to add this snippet in its header.php.
$pagesArgs = Array(
'sort_order' => 'ASC',
'sort_column' => 'menu_order'
);
$pages = get_pages($pagesArgs);
I know this because the WordPress docs are phenomenal. Check it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages
This is a blueprint for every software project.

Even the page is nicely formatted. WordPress deserves a hand. I know they had 10 years to get it right, but it’s still something to strive for.
