I use “Display Name” as Primary User Identifier. But when I look at the cotact list the sort order is not after this? * In WordPress user page all the contacts is sorted after this in a correct way. * Where do I set that default sort order in the list is after “Display Name”?

You can just sort by any attribute which you need in All users tab. * Regards. - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [MariaKravchenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariakravchenko/).

It the way it looks when I open that tab. * [http://piani.se/filer/sort.jpg](http://piani.se/filer/sort.jpg) * The Information/user_name is in a mess (G,L,Å,L,N,L,H,H,L…) * It is no way to sort this field or my 5th custom field. * “E-mail” and “Status” is working with no problem and I have functions to sort them. * Please advice. * Plugin Contributor [MariaKravchenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariakravchenko/) * (@mariakravchenko) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-default-sort-order/#post-10141465) * That depends on the type of the field. Not all of them are sortable. * Regards. * Thread Starter [Piani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webbmasterpianise/) * (@webbmasterpianise) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-default-sort-order/#post-10144306) * Thanks for info. * But I dont get what filed is sorting in WP-CRM. In WP users it looks perfect. In WP-CRM i tested several fields and it never come up sorted in any correct order. What field is used at default sort in WP-CRM? * The list view do not sort on the most important field? Now I must add the same field in “Overview Column” to be able to sort on it. * I will look into the code and see what can be done. Hope all fields can be sortable in a future relese. - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [Piani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webbmasterpianise/). * Plugin Contributor [MariaKravchenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariakravchenko/) * (@mariakravchenko) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-default-sort-order/#post-10198054) * Only single linу text attributes can be sortable on overview column for now.

Im using the same thread again. * I understand now that my contacts in the main list is sorted as default by “created date” (oldest registrated first). * I want it to be sorted after “Display Name” (A-Z) instead. * Is this a WP-CRM function or default WP? Do you have any tip how to find and change this sorting or can in be a optional (list of default sort) feature in next release? * Plugin Contributor [MariaKravchenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariakravchenko/) * (@mariakravchenko) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-default-sort-order/#post-10555816) * there are different columns and display name will be sorted in alphabetical order * Thread Starter [Piani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webbmasterpianise/) * (@webbmasterpianise) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-default-sort-order/#post-10562282) * Yes, but when displaying the list when i go to my contacts the default sort order is “creted date” and i need to re-sort them every time. * The fist column is “Information” where the “Display name” also is and that can not be sorted. I need to have the “Display Name” again displayed in next colum to be able to sort them as i want. And I need to click this column every time i want to display my list. * It is a bit anoying and time consuming to not have the option to set default sort order of my contact list. * Plugin Contributor [MariaKravchenko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariakravchenko/) * (@mariakravchenko) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-default-sort-order/#post-10571211) * You could show display name in your overview column separately [https://screencast.com/t/VmCsiyw5](https://screencast.com/t/VmCsiyw5) and hide Information in screen options [https://screencast.com/t/dpLlgyopd4XY](https://screencast.com/t/dpLlgyopd4XY) * Thread Starter [Piani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webbmasterpianise/) * (@webbmasterpianise) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-default-sort-order/#post-10612784) * Yes. But I still need to sort it manually everytime i open or go back to the list of customers. A default sort order would be nice in the furture if its possible.
