Bump, I’m having the same issue. Neither order by nor the All or My tabs are working for the members or groups directories, yet the sorting seems to work under Activity. Weird…
I’m having the same issue on 1.2.6
@marcycapron How did you get this working again?
This is often a problem with the Javascript code (from the default theme) requiring a very specific div naming and layout structure. If you change (improve and simplify) the default themes’s html in your theme, then the Javascript for managing the ordering / sorting will no longer work correctly.
Seems that Roger nailed it. Having had this problem months and months ago, I simply reverted the offending section of code back to the original and it fixed it. Not sure what change exactly set it off, but with all the customizations and messing about I had been doing, it could have been lots of stuff.
Thank you, I have been beating my head against the desk for two nights now.
So what was the solution. I am banging my head still. I have reinstalled every damn .js file I can find from new download from wordpress.org.
Basically, the solution was to refrain from renaming divs within HTML structure in child theme of bp-default unless you know what you’re doing and make corresponding change in js where required as well. Re-upload BuddyPress and you should be good to go – unless you’re using a totally customized bp-default child theme then you need to contact theme author.
