    Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question: are there any 'best practices' with regard ordering of pages on dropdown menu navigation bars? Should you place your most relevant / interesting pages at the top of the list, the bottom or in the middle?

    For me personally it'd depend on the content and number of items...

    If the menu section is top 10 pages ... then you'd want them in order 1 - 10

    If its a long list of sub pages ... I'd personally want them alphabetically.

    If its only 3 or 4 items then I'd give them in the order of relevance

    Thats just my personal opinion though

    Im with forbairt on this one, for me (assuming your dealing with sub pages) I would put them alphabetically as your main headings would already be in order of relevance I would assumme.
