Custom post type support for get_users(‘orderby=post_count’);

by

The default WordPress function get_users('orderby=post_count'); only orders users with the count of the posts they’ve made.

Any idea how to modify this to support custom post types as well?

UPDATE:

I only want to query posts of type “company-item”. Currently, this snippet is in my functions.php:

 function user_query_count_post_type($args) {
   $args->query_from = str_replace("post_type = post AND", "post_type IN ('company-item') AND ", $args->query_from);
  }

And this is in my page template:

<ul>
  <?php
  add_action('pre_user_query','user_query_count_post_type');
  $showrooms = get_users('orderby=post_count&role=company&order=desc');
  remove_action('pre_user_query','user_query_count_post_type');

  foreach ($showrooms as $showroom) : ?>
    <li>
        <a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/85681/<?php echo get_author_posts_url( $showroom->id ); ?>" ><img src="<?php echo $showroom->company_logo; ?>" title="<?php echo $showroom->company_name; ?>" /></a>
    </li>

  <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

you can try to replace the where clause of the query by hooking to pre_user_query. Something like: 

function user_query_count_post_type($args){
    $args->query_from = str_replace("post_type = post AND", "post_type IN ('post','cpt') AND ", $args->query_from);
}

Usage ex:

add_action('pre_user_query','user_query_count_post_type');
$users = get_users('orderby=post_count');
remove_action('pre_user_query','user_query_count_post_type');
