Custom Profile Fields -- How To Sort In Memberslist?

[Masked Crusader]

Hey guys.

I have added several text-based Profile Fields and I would like my users to be able to sort them alphabetically via the Members List, just like the User Name does by default.

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks.

When you edit a profile field, you can change the order of the fields.

I see this is an old thread. I figured I would search before starting a new one, however, this doesn't really answer the question.

I don't want to change the display order as they appear on the memberslist, I want the users to be able to click the Custom Category Field (as a link), and have it sort ASC, DESC - just like the username Category field.

Explaination
In the template:
memberlist
There is a line that sets the username as a sortable category.

<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=ASC&amp;sort=username&amp;pp=$perpage$usergrouplink">$vbphrase[username]</a> $sortarrow[username]</td>

Now since the memberlist_results_header handles the custom fields you find in the template:
memberlist_results_header
Default:

<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">$customfield</td>

Modified:

<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="$sorturl&amp;order=ASC&amp;sort=$customfield&amp;pp=$perpage$usergrouplink">$customfield</a>
$sortarrow[customfield]
</td>

Now that spits out a link looking like:

http://blah/blah/forums/memberlist.php?&order=ASC&sort=Location&pp=30

It obviously doesn't like the sort=Location (Location being the $customfield).

Is there anyway to do this easily without writing new code into the memberslist.php? and if not, a little help on the code would be great.

shameful bump. Can anybody help with this?

Another very shameful bump.

Any insight, even if not a solution would GREATLY help. Thank you to anybody who tries to tackle this problem.

I'll bump this too - as I am trying to figure this out myself.

I found this a while ago - I tried to use this mod, but it made my member list page wider to the point it didn't look right. Maybe this will work for the rest of you.
