Comment (by benjibee):

 Attempting to maintain the order of IDs as given and ran into this strange
 decade-old behavior. Using `get_posts()` with `post__in` works as
 expected, I think it's time for this fix, no?

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $args = array(
     // 'post__in' => array(1, 2 ,3),   // doesn't work at all, ok…
     'include' => array(1, 2 ,3),       // let's try it with this aliased
 parameter
     'orderby' => 'post__in'            // ignored
 );
 $pages = get_pages($args);             // posts sorted by default
 `orderby` value of 'DESC'
 }}}
