Hi Edward,

sorting by last name is not possible, since the database stucture is hard to achive this.
may i know what do you mean sorted by Joomla name? do you mean username ?

thank you!

Thank you for your reply!
Why can't we sort by FIELD_FAMILYNAME?
By Joomla Name I mean the value of the field Name in the Joomla User data

Hi Edward,

Since the query is not be designed to be sorted by our custom fields..

Actaully the sorting will be respected from configuration->layouts->Display Name, so if you wanna change the sort depend fullname from Joomla you need to change the display name to "Real Name"

thank you!

Thank you for your reply.

We already have it sate to Real Name, and as I said before, that creates a listing by Joomla User Name field. That field is usually, but not always, a concatenation of the first name and the last name, so sorting by that is essentially sorting by first name. Which is not what we want.

I do not understand why if you have all these cool custom fields, we can use them to sort by. Not really a hard SQL query to implement.

Where can I lobby for it in a future release?

Regards,
Dom

Hi Edward,

I am sorry we cant make it on this short time, the stucture on custom field and query to show list users is different.. if you really want to achive this you need to hire 3rd party developer.

thank you!
