Are reserved pages pushed to the bottom of the page stack by default?

[gornycreative]

I have been using $page->sort settings to try to migrate consistent page arrangements and all has gone well except I can't seem to alter the sort arrangement of the error page.

I know it is a reserved page. I can alter the sort order between the various reserved pages but I cannot get it to appear higher.

The strange thing is that I can set the sort number and if I try to find all pages off of the root page and and sort them by sort:

$list = $this->wire->pages->find("parent=1,sort=sort",["include"=>"all"]);

and then db($list) the error page does appear properly sorted in the array that results:

But in the Pages menu, it remains lower:

Are reserved status pages special in this regard?

Yes, certain system pages are forced to the bottom of the list. See ProcessPageListRenderJSON.php
