Just do a select query to the wordpress database. and echo the results.
// Query
global $wpdb;
$rows = $wpdb->get_results("
SELECT id, display_name
FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "users
ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20"
);
// Show 'em...
foreach($rows as $row):
echo $row->display_name;
endforeach;
Just change limit, to how many you want to display and DESC to ASC for order.
Enjoy, my last post!

WP provides a function for getting users. No need for custom sql.

@xidea
Have you tried
bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&type=newest' )
Members Loop
Thanks for the info, I am actually new to WordPress and have not looked through all the functions. I have only built custom queries on custom tables on my own website that I am currently developing.
I have tried wordpress in the past but then switched to other platforms as they was more adequate for my goals.
But right now I am sticking with wordpress and building a new website :),
I’m more use to sources and templates, scripting from scratch.
Out of curiosity, which one is better on performance? A straight up query OR the function above.
If there is security concerns with using a query, apart from sanitisation which I know and use on every custom table, then that info would be good to know also.
Thanks.
