alphabetize “Friends” list by default in BuddyPress
2011Wordpress/Buddypress 1.6.1 filter
I found a fair amount about how to alphabetize the members list by default in WordPress/Buddypress, but sorting wasn’t working on the ‘Friends’ Tab — it kept displaying the entire Members List. The Fix:
Add this to functions.php or bp-custom.php. Or you can drop it into a plugin, it’s not hard but right now I’m too busy.
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘sort_alpha_by_default’ );
function sort_alpha_by_default( $qs ) {
global $bp;
$args=wp_parse_args($qs);
$args[type]=’alphabetical’;
$qs=build_query($args);
return $qs;
}
