Ok I’ll take a look tomorrow and get back to you. This seems to be an issue with carbonfields which is a dependency and not my plugin directly.

What’s the error now?

Ah. I am willing to bet your host is using a version of PHP < 5.4

PHP 5.3 stopped being supported on August 14, 2014 — can you see if your host will upgrade your PHP version?

Your words are too kind! Thank you!

You’re too kind!

Howdy. I believe I am caching using WordPress transient api for 10 minutes. Let me know if you are seeing otherwise.

Thanks for the kind words!

I’m pretty sure that the service I am using, since it is free, is not very good. I plan to rewrite this plugin as soon as I have time. This will incorporate a service that is more reliable.

ok so, this is untested but *should* work. it also may not be the most efficient way of doing things.

This sorts by display_name if you want to sort by another property, change display_name to the property in the line

$sorted[$item->display_name][] = $item;

Note that both objects (the ‘mock’ user object and the WP_User object must have the same properties for this to work, also note how the WP_User object uses the magic method __get().

function coauthor_sort( $authors ) {

    $sorted = array();

    foreach ($authors as $item) {
        $sorted[$item->display_name][] = $item;
    }

    uksort($sorted, "strnatcasecmp");
    $sorted_authors = array();

    foreach ($sorted as $subArray) {
        foreach ($subArray as $item)  {
            $sorted_authors[] = $item;
        }
    }

    return $sorted_authors;

}
add_filter('coauthors_wp_list_authors_array','coauthor_sort');

Hope it helps.

By the way, love the avatar, I was never able to kill that boss who’s head falls off when you punch him.

My pleasure. It was merged into VIP, it doesn’t look like they update this plugin as quickly. You can use composer and pull in the git repo if you are using it for dependency management.

Funny. I am looking to do the same thing. I submitted a [pull request to the repo](https://github.com/Automattic/Co-Authors-Plus/pull/239) for the ability to filter the author array returned from get_terms. If this gets pulled, it’d be as simple as adding a filter on coauthors_wp_list_authors_array and filtering that array into the order that you want it. Until then…

I just replied to your SO post as well.

hey boxcandy,

you can do this with a customized template, look at the notes. if you can’t figure out how to do it feel free to shoot me an email, my first initial, last name at gmail.com

Thanks,
Mat

Not yet, but I will consider doing that, great idea!

What do you mean?
