Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a simple view that shows all subscribers, but it does not allow me to sort by Last Name. Is there a way to do this? Currently Ordering By is set to Display Name (which alphabetizes by first name)

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I tried the instructions at https://toolset.com/forums/topic/sort-user-view-by-users-last-name-of-custom-field/, but it did not add it to the ORDER BY list, nor did it sort by last name.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I've tested the custom code from the other support ticket and it worked as expected, to order the user view, by the last names.

To troubleshoot why it is not working on your website, I'll need to see how this view is set up in the admin area.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, in reply to this message?

Note: Your next reply will be private and making a complete backup copy is recommended before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar
