    'Peoples’-package problem

    By adding the other fields to ppluser.chunk.tpl in /core/components-etc. we managed to show a frontend Users list with more information per (web) user.

    We donot keep address-data of our members here so have dedicated the 'State'-field to collect the Surnames only in order to sort the list alphabetically with that as sort-key.

    However the &sortBy- (and &sortByAlias-) keys do not work.

    Altering the ‘Peoples-‘ (People.people-) snippet didn't help either.

    Can somebody help us with this?
    We just want a frontend User-list sorted alphabetically on surname only.
    Many thanks in advance,

        Thanks Susan,

        Not only did pdoTools solve this problem, by now it has solved several others as well!

        Thanks again,

        <sigh..., what would we do without you...>
