• Hi,

    I need to find how to sort the members list in the Directory page by member’s Last name and then First name, but I can’t find the solution.

    It looks like a very basic feature for a “Directory” page. Even more when you run a family website where a lot of members have the same name.
    So I must have missed something.

    The only way I found is to change the WordPress “Display name” to Last name + First name and then use this field as sorting criteria, but that’s not what I want. I can’t change how members are named everywhere in WordPress just to fix the sorting issue of one page.

    I was also hopping to find a solution via Custom fields, but so far I couldn’t find it.

    So any idea?
    There must be a solution to such basic need.

    Thanks!

    Hi @ftpwp,

    Unfortunately, it is only possible to set “User Display Name – first name and last name” and use display name in the “Sort users by” dropdown. I will discuss sorting improvements with the team and we will see if we can add more options in the future updates.

    Regards.

    Ok. But can you come back to me to give me the result?
    I mean, if the enhancement request is rejected or added in the roadmap and for which version. So I don’t wait and wait for nothing.

    But only 1 option “Last name, then First name” should be easy to add and it’s the most common if not the only logical option when you sort person names.
    It’s very surprising that it’s not yet available :-/

    Thanks!
