Perch custom sort order

Hi,

I understand content is by default ordered by that of which it is entered, but should reordering within the admin interface alter this? I wish to order my content displayed within perch_content_custom by a specific sequence.

cheers in advance

Yes, reordering within the interface changes the order in which items are output unless you specify an order on the page.

Does 'sort' => '_order' have any impact?

Does it make a difference if you're only listing from a single region?
