How to change the default order pages in Jekyll?

You can create custom order of your menu items like this:

1. In your pages front matter add the order field (you can name it as you prefer)

   ---
   layout: default
   published: true
   title: Page title
   order: 1
   ---
   

2. When getting pages, apply the ‘sort’ filter

   {% assign sorted_pages = site.pages | sort:"order" %}
   {% for node in sorted_pages %}
     <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13266369/{{node.url}}">{{node.title}}</a></li>
   {% endfor %}
   

You’ll end up with an ordered (ASC) list of pages, based on the ‘order’ field value you add to each page.
