I am running BuddyPress 1.5.6 and the members directory lists the 17 recently active users by default. I want it to list all of my users in alphabetical order by default. It would be ideal if they could be alphabetized by last name too.
I replaced this line of code in my members-loop.php of buddypress:

Hey @hccdev
Welcome to the Community!
I think this is the way to do it:
<?php if ( bp_has_members(bp_ajax_querystring( 'members').'&type=alphabetical') ) : ?>This should work. Good luck!

I hope that worked, Cheers!

That code won't order them by last name though, will it? How do we get them to sort in alphabetical order by last name?

In the Template-File members-loop-php insert the following Code at the top of the file:
<?php /* Querystring is set via AJAX in _inc/ajax.php - bp_dtheme_object_filter() */ ?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_before_members_loop' ) ?>
<?php
if ( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) =="")
{
$queryString = "type=alphabetical&action=alphabetical&page=1";
}
else {
$queryString = bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' );
}
?>
<?php if ( bp_has_members( $queryString) ) : ?>

Hi, I have one of my devs looking into this further, but as of right now we haven't solved the issue in my original post.

Oops! Re-read the post title, you mean BuddyPress and not the Members Directory as attached to the post here! Sorry.
