I couldn’t find an answer to this issue.
I would like to be able to sort the pages in other than the alphabetical order that currently defaults to.

For example under Pizza, the example pages first displayed the list of pizza pages as Pizza A, Pizza B, etc.

I need to control the display order other than alphabetical, but so far the following haven’t worked:
I tried changing the Url so while the Title was for example Pizza Margherita, I changed the url to end with /pizza-1, then the next page to /pizza-2, etc.
Then I also tried changing the Page Order within each page admin to 1, next page to 2, next to 3, etc.

Can you please provide me with the steps needed, or the working Code to order the pages, and where to place the code in the Admin area or CSS file?

Thank you for your assistance.
