Dough!
The solution was pretty obvious:
In the dashboard, go to ‘apearence’, ‘widget’, and ‘edit’ under pages. Change the drop down to ‘sort by: page order’. Remember to click ‘save settings’.

This was probably the first place I should have looked.

Hi lornapeck

Thanks for your post! I had been pulling out hair for about an hour, before I read your post.

I have the same problem as charissaproctor.

The pages are ordered nicely according to number in the
Dashboard>edit pages. It is not a cache problem, because I can make changes in to the pages and this is updated on the web.

I have another problem with timyMCE: In ‘html’ mode the cursor is text window is jumping to the top of the text, whenever I stop typing. It is very annoing because you never know where the cursor is.

I tried your trick, to copy editor_template.js, but it did not help.

Thanks whooami that solves it!
To others that might need this help: Here is a like that describes how to write HTML directly in the blog. It works with a bit of tweak you can get the table to look like you want.

It would probably also be possible to define a tabel template in CSS, but that is too advanced for me.

OK, I understand what you say ‘whooami’, but what if you want to have a table in wordpress that looks ‘nice’, in the sense that you control the background color of the cells and the size of the rows?

This is also my experience. There is nothing wrong with the tables, it is just that they look very plain in wordpress. I guess there is no support for shading the backgound color or changing the size of the cells.
