I'd like to list the authors in sidebar and have them sorted by the most recent posters.
I currently use the following code to list the authors as I wanted their avatars, name, and link to their website also.
<div class="bottombar"><h2 class="widgettitle">Contributors:</h2>
<ul>
<?php
$order = 'user_nicename';
$user_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY $order"); // query users
foreach($user_ids as $user_id) : // start authors' profile "loop"
$user = get_userdata($user_id);
?>
<li>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="/home/authors/<?php echo $user->user_nicename; ?>" alt="<?php echo $user->nickname; ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/authors/<?php echo $user->last_name; ?>.jpg" alt="<?php echo $user->nickname; ?>" border="1" /></a>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo '<a href="' . $user->user_url . '">' . $user->display_name . '</a>'; ?><br />
<?php echo '<a href="' . $user->user_url . '">View Website</a>'; ?><br />
<a href="/home/authors/<?php echo $user->user_nicename; ?>" alt="<?php echo $user->nickname; ?>">Profile</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
<?php endforeach;
// end of authors' profile 'loop'
?>
</ul>
</div>Any help would be much appreciated
