This will make it so you can set the archive stuff (like for category pages) to be ordered by the same order that you set them with in the admin. Use a plugin like "Simple Page Ordering". goes in functions.php http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/39817/sort-results-by-name-asc-order-on-archive-php
<?php
// ---------- ORDER ARCHIVE BY MENU ORDER
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_change_sort_order');
function my_change_sort_order($query){
if(is_archive()):
//If you wanted it for the archive of a custom post type use: is_post_type_archive( $post_type )
//Set the order ASC or DESC
$query->set( 'order', 'ASC' );
//Set the orderby
$query->set( 'orderby', 'menu_order' );
endif;
};
// ---------- END - ORDER ARCHIVE BY MENU ORDER
?>
