Problem with One Page WordPress Site

I just watched the workshop 'One Page WordPress Site' and it is fantastic, but I have one question about it:

Is it possible to change the order of the pages on the one page site manually?

So the user of the WordPress site can change the order without coding?

Sincerely, Joren

You have to tweak the code from the workshop a little but this is possible. In the workshop video, Zac uses these arguments for the query:

<?php
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'order' => 'ASC'
);
?>

You can change it to order by menu_order. This will allow you to order by the Order field in the Edit Page Attributes box. To do this, change your arguments to:

<?php
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'orderby' => 'menu_order'
);
?>

For more info on ordering, see the Order & Orderby section of the WP_Query page in the WordPress Codex.

I put the code in my functions.php, but nothing has changed.

How can the user change the order of this pages now?

When you edit the page, edit the order in the Page Attributes Box:
