Last First Snippet does NOT work with BuddyBoss

BuddyBoss (and maybe BuddyPress) base alphabetical sorting for the member / user directory on the Display Name. But their default Display Name is First Last name so the directory is sorted by First name. It’s very common that the default “Alpha” sort for any directory should be by last name.

Whenever a profile is created or edited via BuddyBoss, it saves the display name as First Last, so it throws the directory out of wack – because anyone who has edited their profile are now sorted in the directory by First Last.

So I need to force all display names to Last First. Your plugin and the snippet add-on were the answer I was looking for. But, it only works when editing a profile via WP Admin. When a profile is saved via BuddyBoss either on the front end, or the back end (which they call “Extended Profile”, it resorts back to First Last.

Would your plugin be able to execute upon a BuddyBoss profile save, just as it does on an WP Admin Save? This might be the same for BuddyPress since BB is a fork of it. But I haven’t used BP.

Thanks,
Blake
