 BuddyPress is now Robust, beautiful and powerful.

 There are Two(2) small things that I am imagining if BuddyPress can give
 us, going forward:

 1.) **SORTING PRESET**
 I need BuddyPress to enable us through its **Settings**, to be able to
 ''pre-set'' the **Order** in which our Members Directory will be sorted.

 This means that, I should be able to ''Drag-and-Drop'' the Sorting options
 around, somewhere within BuddyPress Settings-- where if I arranged it as:

 a.) Alphabetical
 b.) Last Active
 c.) Newest Registered
 d.) First and Last Name**

 Then, whenever my Members Directory loads, this is what the Sorting Order
 will be.

 2.) You will notice in my Sorting Options, that there's an Option called "
 **First** and **Last Name** "-- which BuddyPress doesn't have.

 I am hereby proposing to the BuddyPress Development Team, that they should
 Please consider and implement this request of adding First and Last Name
 option into the default BuddyPress Sorting options.

 Now, I have tried to achieve it with this plugin ---
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-first-last/

 Unfortunately, the plugin is not able to do it automatically. I need to
 actually manually edit it user by user, before I get the Usernames of my
 users changed from ''Username'' to ''First'' and ''Last'' Name.

 On my website made with **Ultimate Member**** plugin, sorting is by
 **First** and **Last** Name as you can see here--
 https://member.cordialmarketplace.com/

 It will be a great relief to many, if BuddyPress will implement this.

 In essence, this Ticket requests two things in One-- which is, add a Drag-
 and-Drop option for Admins to be able to rearrange the Sorting Options,
 through a kind of pre-set system.

  This plugin Organizes **Categories** and **Taxonomies**--
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/

 I am talking of BuddyPress enabling us to rearrange our Sorting Options in
 similar way, as done by this plugin above.

 And

 2.) add **First** and **Last Name** option among the default BuddyPress
 Sorting Options.

 Regards.
