WordPress – Get page/post order number if is set

1. I’m not sure of what you want…

   If you want to retrieve the menu_order from a post/page you can use something like

   <?php
   $id=1;
   $default = 42;
   get_post($id); //you can use any kind of query or use it in the loop
   global $post;
   if(empty($post->menu_order)) //if not set give the value you want
     $post->menu_order = $default; //note that it won't update the value in the database
   echo $post->menu_order;
   wp_reset_query();
   ?>

2. Better use this way:

           $my_menu_order = get_post_field( 'menu_order', $id, true );
   

   where $id is the id of the post
