Sorting Memberlist by Last Name
 

I need to find a way to:

1. List member last names on the memberlist
2. Put the last name category first in the memberlist, rather than the username first
3. Sort the memberlist alphabetically by members' last names

I have added last names as a custom profile field (field20), but if I add custom profile fields on the memberlist via the CP, then they all show up and I don't want everything there...just last names (and possibly first, as well).

I also found the following thread, which I thought might be helpful. But, I changed the code (as best I could, since this question was asked of an older version), and it did not seem to do anything.

I just read the link within the link I sent that gives me the impression that I can't put just the last name at the front of the list, since I have more than one custom variable.

Any other help would be appreciated.

Okay, I did get a column to appear for "last name", but I still need it to automatically sort by last name, rather than username, so that when you click on a letter, it sorts by the last names alphabetically.

Is there any way to do this? I am dealing with a local group of newbies who know one another by their real names and so this needs to be as simple as possible!
