cycle next page wordpress order by post title - php

Question

I'm using Cycle jquery for my website.
I've added a php code do get a link at the end of my slideshow to go to the next page.
I want my pages to be sorted alphabetically but it's not working...
I've added "orderby=post_title" but still not working...
anybody can help me with this ?
here is my PHP code :
function dbdb_next_page_link() {
global $post;
if ( isset($post->post_parent) && $post->post_parent > 0 ) {
$children = get_pages('&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&parent='.$post->post_parent);
}
//print_r($children);
// throw the children ids into an array
foreach( $children as $child ) { $child_id_array[] = $child->ID; }
$next_page_id = relative_value_array($child_id_array, $post->ID, 1);
$output = '';
if( '' != $next_page_id ) {
$output .= ''. get_the_title($next_page_id) . ' »';
}
return get_page_link($next_page_id);
}
and a jsfiddle link : http://jsfiddle.net/KvBRV/

I have the same problem with a "select type" menu, my pages are not sorted alphabetically, I don't know why, here is my php code :
<div class="styled-select">
<?php
if(!$post->post_parent){
$children = get_pages(array(
'child_of' => $post->ID,
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'sort_order' => 'ASC',
'sort_column' => 'post_title',
));
}else{
$children = get_pages(array(
'child_of' => $post->post_parent,
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'sort_order' => 'ASC',
'sort_column' => 'post_title',
));
}
if ($children) {
echo '<select name="" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">';
echo '<option>'. 'A - Z' .'</option>';
function getInitials($name){
//split name using spaces
$words=explode(" ",$name);
$inits='';
//loop through array extracting initial letters
foreach($words as $word){
$inits = strtoupper(substr($word,0,1));
break;
}
return $inits;
}
$currval = "";
foreach($children as $child){
//print_r($child);
$permalink = get_permalink($child->ID);
$post_title = strtoupper($child->post_title);
$initial = getInitials($child->post_title);
if($initial!='' && $currval != $initial ) {
$currval = $initial;
echo '<optgroup label="'.$initial.'""></optgroup>';
}
echo '<option value="'.$permalink.'">'.$post_title.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
} ?>
<!-- FIN MENU DEROULANT A-Z -->
</div>

Answer 1

get_pages doesnt accept any arg called orderby or order instead sort_column and sort_order is used ..
so your code would be
if ( isset($post->post_parent) && $post->post_parent > 0 ) {
$children = get_pages('sort_column=post_title&sort_order=ASC&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&parent='.$post->post_parent);
}
