Display the Members Within a Group Alphabetically

Please be advised that there’s currently no out-of-the-box option to do this in BuddyBoss.

Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Kindly check our Support Policy here: https://www.buddyboss.com/support-policy/.

Kindly try adding the following code in your theme files:

1. Go to Appearance > Theme File Editor

2. Under “Select theme to edit”, choose (BuddyBoss Child/Whatever theme is active), then click “Select”.

3. Below Theme Files, select Theme Functions (functions.php).

4. Append the following just before the closing PHP tag “?>”:

/** * Filter the group member IDs and return them sorted alphabetically by display name. * * @param array $value The array of user IDs to be filtered. * @return array $sorted_users The array of sorted user IDs by display name. */ add_filter('bp_group_member_query_group_member_ids', 'bb_bp_group_has_members'); function bb_bp_group_has_members( $value ) { // Arguments for fetching users by specified IDs and ordering by display name $args = [ 'include' => $value, // Include only the specified user IDs 'orderby' => 'display_name', // Order by display name 'order' => 'ASC', // Ascending order ]; // Fetch users based on the provided arguments $users = get_users( $args ); // Initialize an empty array to hold sorted user IDs $sorted_users = []; // Loop through the users and collect their IDs foreach ( $users as $user ) { $sorted_users[] = $user->ID; } // Return the sorted user IDs return $sorted_users; }

NOTE: Please make a backup of your site.

5. Click “Update File”.
