# Modifying wp_nav_menu?

 * Hi there!
 * I’m working on a small WordPress plugin and I got stuck.
 * I have 10 pages and `<?php wp_nav_menu(); ?>` shows all the names and links to
   them.
 * I want to cut these to the first 4 pages and sort them by sort order (sort_order).
 * Or maybe there’s a way with `<?php get_pages() ?>`?
 * Thanks!

 * RESOLVED:
 * `<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&number=4&'); ?>`
 * Don’t get why wp_nav_menu is less flexible than wp_list_pages (won’t use _wp_nav_menu
   at all, because seems pointless to me).
 * Cheers.
