Change Authors Order

How can we reorder or alphabetize the list of authors in the sidebar?

Actually, the list is already alphabetically ordered by realname.

Customizing the order is not really possible, because the list comes from the database. You could only reverse the alphabetical ordering or order by Author ID, both of which I think is not worth the effort.

If you want it to be customizable, I suggest to copy+paste the output of the plugin as a HTML nugget and customize it there.

Our list shows up alphabetically in the "manage" list but on the actual front-end it's all out of order. Why would that be?

Could you tell me your URL and the name and version of the plugin you are using to display the authors list?

Using 0.8.4 version of the blog. The plugin is called Authors. We even tried reinstalling the plugin but it still doesn't work.

Thanks.

First off, you should upgrade to a recent version, 1.0-beta1 or at least 0.9.1. Then it should work, I guess.

Hi!

Hm, I'm not sure if the code was in 0.9.1, maybe you could try to use 1.0-beta on a second installation just to try it out? What is the exact plugin name that is "misbehaving"? Is it a bundled plugin or did you install it via spartacus?

we installed the "authors" plugin using spartacus.

Hi!

I think there should also be a bundled authors plugin...?

Hi!

Do you know the exact PHP name of the plugin file you're using and which version that is?

Best regards,
Garvin

Hi!

You could inspect the "serendipity_plugins" table, this holds the exact plugin name(s).

went to the configure plugins screen and i removed the "authors" plugin.

i then used spartacus to add the authors plugin today (8 July 2006). it shows in the configure plugin screen that it's the "authors" plugin

Displays entries by author.
Author: Victor Fusco; version: 0.9

When I go into the "manage users" screen the authors are listed alphabetically but on the front end they are still all out of order using the Victor Fusco 0.9 authors plugin.
