How can I change the default “order by” to be alphabetical instead of “Last Active”? This is very frustrating.

To ‘default’ the listings to Alphabetical would be a modification of the core, however, simply adding the following to your while (bp_has_component()) statement should get them in alphabetical:

`bp_has_groups(‘type=alphabetical’)`

There are other loops that will take this argument as well, but here’s the link to the Groups Loop Codex page.
