 Replying to [comment:13 boonebgorges]:
 Thanks for taking a look at this patch! I agree with everything you've
 said.

 > What's the advantage of breaking this into a hooked function? So that it
 can be disabled? It feels like it'd be more natural in our "routing"
 logic, inside `BP_Groups_Component::setup_globals()`. It also feels icky
 to be modifying global variables outside of our component classes, since
 it can be very unpleasant to debug.
 Yes, I added it via hook primarily so that someone could unhook it. (I'm
 not sure why you wouldn't want that behavior though.) I first built it in
 into `BP_Groups_Component::setup_globals()` but thought I was being
 presumptuous. If it's OK with everyone else, I'd rather put it with the
 rest of the routing logic, too.

 rather than implementing by filter. (When you asked me about this earlier,
 I didn't know it was for a BP patch :) )
 Ha ha. Yes, I have another patch where I add that orderby option to
 `get()`. Again, it seemed so specific to my problem that I was afraid it
 wouldn't generally be of interest.

 Thanks for the encouragement to move these changes into the foundational
 places they belong. I'll update the patch. :)
