#10266 closed enhancement (fixed)

wp_page_menu sort_column value should be "menu_order, post_title"

Description

The default argument array for wp_page_menu will ignore the menu_order sorting method, in favor of sorting by post_title. This seems backwards to me, since many theme authors don't know that a default wp_page_menu call will ignore menu_order by default, rendering the ordering field useless to the user.

I propose making the default value for sort_column => 'menu_order, post_title" for the sake of users.

I've attached a diff with the change made.

+1

wp_page_menu() hasn't been around long enough for this to break too many themes.

Just got bitten by this one. No matter what I did, the menu_order was ignored. Cheers to Nathan for submitting the diff. Please accept this change.
