"Manage Pages" does not use menu_order

[randyhoyt]

The changes to "Manages Pages" in 2.5 have greatly improved performance, but the pages are no longer sorted according to the menu_order. (It appears they are simply ordered by the post_id or in whatever order get retrieved from the database without an ORDER BY clause.)

I was thinking this was on purpose (last modified or something).

It is indeed supposed to be menu order though:

$query_str = "post_type=page&orderby=menu_order title&what_to_show=posts$post_status_q&posts_per_page=-1&posts_per_archive_page=-1&order=asc";
