Children Display Macro can't count

My pages in Confluence are numbered and there are more than 10 pages per parent page. The CD Macro on the parent page displays the first nine pages normally,  but then the 10th page is added after the first and not after the 9th. The particular way the pages are numbered should not be changed, so that is not a possible solution.

The macro has 3 options: to display the pages by title, date of modification, and date of creation. This problem happens when display by title is used (of course). If I create the pages one by one and then use the 'display by date of creation' it will show the children pages in the right order. However, if a page is re-numbered (page 7 becomes page 12 for example) the results won't change because the date of creation won't change (so page 12 would come after 6). If I use the 'modified date' criterion, the macro will shuffle the pages every time, which is exactly the opposite of what I need.

Can this be fixed?

Example:

1.1

1.10

1.11

1.2

...

1.9

Hi Christian,

leave the ordering option blank. Then the children macro uses the original order of your pages within the page tree.

What is the 'original order', please?

@Christian Ludmann,  I mean the order you define by ordering your pages manually in the Space Tools ( http://<confluence-url>/pages/reorderpages.action?key=<space-key> )
