I think default sorting is little useless and messed up.

Why we should see so many # names?

Default sorting by Join date would be more useful.

+1. I would like this change, or at least an option to choose the sort order we want for our member list.

Definitely supporting this.

I wonder why still there's no SO simple and SO important feature

matt? bfarber?

Either by join date or by post count. That would be good so that when somone clicks on the user list the first users to show up will be the most active ones.

Has anyone found how to default by post count?

Open adminapplicationsmembersmodules_publiclistview.php and find:

        $this->sort_key        = !empty($this->request['sort_key']) ? $this->request['sort_key']    : 'members_display_name';
        $this->sort_order    = !empty($this->request['sort_order']) ? $this->request['sort_order']  : 'asc';

To order by post count, change to:

        $this->sort_key        = !empty($this->request['sort_key']) ? $this->request['sort_key']    : 'posts';
        $this->sort_order    = !empty($this->request['sort_order']) ? $this->request['sort_order']  : 'desc';

To order by joined date, change to:

        $this->sort_key        = !empty($this->request['sort_key']) ? $this->request['sort_key']    : 'joined';
        $this->sort_order    = !empty($this->request['sort_order']) ? $this->request['sort_order']  : 'desc';

Thanks for the info!
