   I use the Hybrid theme which has an authors page. I would like to display the authors of the blog in descending order by ID. Or maybe by latest entry on the blog.

   Can anybody help me?

   <?php foreach ( get_users_of_blog() as $author ) : ?>
   
   						<?php if ( get_the_author_meta( 'user_level', $author->ID ) > 0 || get_the_author_meta( 'user_login', $author->ID ) == 'admin' ) : ?>
   
   							<div id="hcard-<?php echo str_replace( ' ', '-', get_the_author_meta( 'user_nicename', $author->ID ) ); ?>" class="author-profile vcard clear">
   
   								<a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( $author->ID ); ?>" title="<?php the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author->ID ); ?>">
   
                                       <?php  the_author_image($author->ID);'width="130" height="160"';?>
   
   								</a>
   								<h2 class="author-name fn n">
   									<a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( $author->ID ); ?>" title="<?php the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author->ID ); ?>"><?php the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author->ID ); ?></a>
   								</h2>
   								<p class="author-bio">
   									<?php the_author_meta( 'description', $author->ID ); ?>
   								</p><!-- .author-bio -->
   
   							</div><!-- .author-profile .vcard -->
   
   						<?php endif; ?>
   
   					<?php endforeach; ?>

   Here's one example:
   

   <ul>
   <?php
   //List of users sorted descending by date of lastest post written by user
   $uc=array();
   $blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
   if ($blogusers) {
     foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
       $userpost = get_posts('showposts=1&author='.$bloguser->user_id);
       $uc[$bloguser->user_id] = '';
       if ($userpost) {
         $uc[$bloguser->user_id]=$userpost[0]->post_date;
       }
     }
     arsort($uc);
     foreach ($uc as $key => $value) {
       $user = get_userdata($key);
       $post_count = get_usernumposts($user->ID);
       if ($post_count) {
         $author_posts_url = get_author_posts_url($key);
         echo '<li><a href="' . $author_posts_url . '">' . $user->user_firstname . ' ' . $user->user_lastname . '</a> (' . $post_count . ') </li>';
       }
     }
   }
   ?>
   </ul>

   OK, that works, but not in the right way.
   The authorspage in the Hybrid theme puts authorinformation + gravatar, or as I did the authorimage from the authorimage plugin. So I would like to use the above code but with an output in descending order, to have this nice overview of authors in the blog.
   Hope You can help me?

   Well I figured out myself to change in the user.php file. Line 281 I added DESC.
   'ORDER BY {$wpdb->usermeta}.user_id DESC"'
