By default, WordPress tries to order the Pages in your Navigation bar alphabetically by title. But what if you want to re-order them?
Well, don’t worry, it is possible. It’s a bit quirky, but you have total control over which order your navigation items appear in most WP Themes. The key is setting the Order Attribute when editing a Page in the WordPress editor.
This video shows you how to do it:
