    Is there any way to alphabetize the list of post authors (users) that appears in the Write Post page? I’m using WP 2.0. I have over 100 authors and it’s tricky because they’re not in alphabetical order.

    Anybody?

    Make a copy of wp-admin/admin-db.php. Then around line 37 in that file, where it says:

    $authors = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE ID IN ($editable)" );

    change it to:

    $authors = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE ID IN ($editable) ORDER BY user_nicename" );

    Don’t tell anybody I told you this! And if it doesn’t work restore the backup copy of that file. ??

    Changing core WordPress files is not normally recommended so do so at your own risk!
