I’m trying to order the member list by display_name or first name ASC.
http://sim.is/sim/felagatal-sim/
This doesn’t seem to work. Any pointers out there? :/
$users = get_users(array(
'role' => 'sm_flagar',
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'order' => 'ASC',
));
foreach ($users as $user) {
$firstName = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'first_name', true);
$lastName = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'last_name', true);
echo '<li><a href="' . $user->user_url . '">' . $firstName . ' ' . $lastName . '</a></li>' . PHP_EOL;
}

Here is my solution
function split_names( $name ) {
$names = explode( " ", trim( join( " ", $name ) ) );
$first_name = array_shift( $names );
$last_name = array_pop( $names );
$middle_name = join( " ", $names );
return array( "first_name" => $first_name, "middle_name" => $middle_name, "last_name" => $last_name );
}
function sort_by_full_name( $arr1, $arr2 ) {
$arr1 = split_names( $arr1 );
$arr2 = split_names( $arr2 );
$retval = strcoll( $arr1['first_name'], $arr2['first_name'] );
if ( ! $retval ) $retval = strcoll( $arr1['last_name'], $arr2['last_name'] );
if ( ! $retval ) $retval = strcoll( $arr1['middle_name'], $arr2['middle_name'] );
return $retval;
}
$users = get_users( array(
'role' => 'sm_flagar',
'orderby' => 'display_name',
'order' => 'ASC'
) );
$user_list = array();
foreach ( $users as $user ) {
$firstName = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'first_name', true );
$lastName = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'last_name', true );
$user_list[] = split_names( array(
"first_name" => $firstName,
"last_name" => $lastName,
"url" => $user->user_url
) );
}
usort( $user_list, 'sort_by_full_name' );
setlocale( LC_COLLATE, $locale );
$locale = setlocale( LC_COLLATE, 'is_IS.utf8' );
foreach ( $user_list as $user ) {
echo '<li><a href="' . $user["url"] . '">' .
$user["first_name"] . ' ' .
$user["middle_name"]
$user["last_name"] . '</a></li>' . PHP_EOL;
}
