Comment 3 for bug 259163

There needs to be some kind of out-of-the-box solution for this--hands down, unless of course you believe that the only people who would use GNOME on a server would be a parent managing a household LAN. This is acceptable because there would be only a few users.

But, I argue, there is a place for people like teachers who don't want to (and shouldn't have to) dive into the CLI to manage users. I've got about 130 users and I need to alter group membership often. If you can't alpha-sort a list of 130 users you have to plow through the unsorted list, examining each individual to see if it is the person you are looking for--unpractical. Wouldn't it be simple to make it so that you could click on the column heading and sort that list A-->Z or click again and it sorts it Z-->A.

This doesn't seem to be a wishlist item but indeed a potential deal-breaker for many of the users we want to bring into the Ubuntu fold? Thanks for your work!
