Change order that the menu is generated with wp_list_pages

Question

I am trying to order the output of one of my menus to be based off of the way they are setup in the Appearance->Menus pane, however it seems to only want to do it alphabetically.

For example I have setup in the Menus pane the following hierarchy:

Weekly Outlook
- Webinars
- Calendar

However it displays like so:

Weekly Outlook
- Calendar
- Webinars

I the menu is generated by the following code. Note, the content is dependant on the page visited.

 <div id="dep-menu">
 <?php global $post;
 if (!is_front_page() && !is_404()) {
     if($post->post_parent) {
         $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&include=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order'");
         $children.= wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order'");
     } else {
         $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&include=".$post->ID."&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order'");
         $children.= wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order'");
     }
     if ($children) { ?>
         <ul>
             <?php echo $children; ?>
         </ul>
     <?php }
 }
 ?>
 </div>

EDIT

Here it is in action: http://dailywealthreport.com.au/

The menu I am referring to is the one that comes up when you click on an item in the main menu.

For 'menu_order' to work, you need to set the page order from the page edit screen. Are you setting orders for your pages?
