Purpose of the mod
The list of users displayed on the Registered Users admin page is sorted by default by the user's description field. If your site has more than one tree, each of which has its own user population, or some of your users are restricted to just one branch, then this small mod may present a clearer user directory.
The list is now sorted by tree (alphabetically by tree name), then the user's function or role (Guest, Submitter etc), then branch and then username. Administrators, and others not assigned to any tree, are listed first. Then users are grouped alphabetical by tree name and their assigned function or role (if one has been given, "Guest" if not). Users assigned to a specific branch appear at the end of the tree list.
Developer
This mod was developed by Alan D Craxford.
Renamed from Sort Registered User List by Ken Roy for TNG V10. Created V10.0.0.0 of the mod so the name matches the wiki article name. The code remains the same as v8.1.1

A specimen site contains two trees (Smithtree and Jonestree), each with its own population of users. Members of one tree do not get access rights to the other - unless they have been added to the second tree. In this example, site administrators have not been assigned to either tree and appear at the top of the list. Smithtree has five members. The Guests are sorted alphabetically by username first, the Submitters appear next, sorted alphabetivally. Jonestree has four members. One of the Guests has been assigned to a distinct branch and is sorted behind the remaining Guest. The Submitter appears last. (A future mod might look to sort the user function by significance - Submitter before Guest - rather than alphabetically by role name.) |
