Additionally, it renders the checkin function in the Events Calendar attendee list virtually useless for events with a few hundred people. As you might imagine, the only way to really handle something like that is to find a person by his\/her last name and without the ability to sort, either in the system admin area or through an export, it creates some serious problems for users.<\/p>\n<p>Any chance there is a mod for this or some kind of workaround? At the very least, I would think separating the username field into First and Last and putting them in separate columns from the email address (Primary Information) would be a start.
