Changing the order of child pages?

[Andrew Petro]

For background:

The uPortal manual wiki spaces have taken this alphabetizing of child 
pages as a "feature" by prefacing page names with numbers to get 
Confluence's auto-generated children listing and tree navigation to 
reflect a book-like manual navigation.

Not everyone loves the result, and it's still a work in progress, but 
it's an approach.
