       		<li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo "class=\"active\""; ?> href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><span>Home</span></a></li>
       		<?php
       		$pages = get_pages();
       		if ($pages) {
       			foreach ($pages as $page) {
       				$page_id = $page->ID;
          				$page_title = $page->post_title;
          				$page_name = $page->post_name;
          				if ($page_name == "archives") {
          					(is_page($page_id) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_single())?$selected = ' class="active"':$selected='';
          					echo "<li><a".$selected." href=\"".get_page_link($page_id)."\"><span>Archives</span></a></li>\n";
          				}

 * Hello there,
    Please go here -> Presentation -> Widgets Locate your Pages widget
   and click on it to open it. Inside you will find these options: Title: ** Sort
   by:**(drop down menu) ->Page Title ->Page Order ->**Page ID** Exclude: Page IDs,
   separated by commas.
 * I believe this is what you are looking for.
    Happy blogging 🙂

 * The poster appears to be looking at a Page bar such as long the top of a blog,
   not the sidebar.
 * See that bit there near the top?
 * `$pages = get_pages();`
 * Not a 100% sure but from looking at the [code](http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/post.php#L1065),
   I’d say it operates the same as the get_posts Template tag.
 * Reference:
    [Template_Tags/get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
 * Try changing it to something like:
 * `$pages = get_pages('orderby=ID');`

 * ok.. iam a hero myself.. lol posting here coz it may help anybody else
 * just like theapparatus said, it had something to do with get_pages.. the actual
   code for it becomes
 * `$pages = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order');`
 * and youll get it sorted out by order.. Enjoy !
