Buddypress Members Loop ordered by custom field value?

Hi guys, 😀

I’ve got a custom profile field that’s a five digit numerical value up to a maximum of 99999.

I want to use the members loop to list members from the member with the highest value in that custom field to the member with the lowest value.

Example:
Bob – 99999
John – 99998
James – 99997

etc. Is it possible to do this?

It would be best to filter this at the query level.

See do_action_ref_array( ‘bp_pre_user_query’, array( &$this ) );
In function prepare_user_ids_query()
In buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-classes.php

Thanks Shane! Would this modify the page for every listing? I only want to do this for one custom page. 🙂

Thanks!

You should be able to do a conditional based on the page slug, action or uri.
But the user query might fire before that check can be run.
Try a simple echo from a function on that hook, see where/when it appears.

You could manipulate the members loop (stuff into array & resort)
but that’s very inefficient unless you have less than 1000 users.
And I’m not sure what effect it would have on pagination – I suspect not good.

Thanks so much for your reponses Shane!

So is there a way to do this within my theme without messing with the core members list code? 🙂

Maybe.
