Oops you're fast -- I only saw that you're working on this a few hours ago.

I'm still a very basic-level coder, but it happens that I slightly
rewrote the existing function, too. No hierarchies, but there are two
things I don't think you did: a) add a class "current" to the list
item of the current page (for menu styling) and remove the hyperlink
from that item and b) an option not to print but to return an array of
pages.

FYI, I'm copying my (much more basic) function below. Feel free to
disregard all this.

function cfw_list_pages($sort_column='title', $sort_order='asc',
$before='', $after='', $display= true ) {
// before and after not implemented
	global $wpdb, $wp_query;

	$page_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
	$thispage = $page_obj->post_name;
	
	$pages = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title, post_name FROM
$wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'static' ORDER BY post_" .
$sort_column . " " . $sort_order);
		
	if ($display) {
		foreach ($pages as $page) {
     			$title = apply_filters('the_title', $page->post_title);

			echo '<li';
			if (is_page($page->post_name)) {
				echo ' class="current">'. $title ; 
			} else {
				echo '><a href="' . get_page_link($page->ID) . '" title="' .
htmlspecialchars($title) . '">' . $title . '</a>';
			}
			echo "</li>\n";
		}
	} else {
		return $pages;
	}
}
