Maybe page.php is not your friend for this one.
It depends where is the list of posts you want to modify.
Try index.php for homepage or archive.php for category based views.
Check http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Template_Files_List
page.php is used when an individual Page is queried – that means this page is usually the only post displayed there. Playing with its order gets boring after while .)
