Wordpress...

Anyone here know of a Wordpress plugin that will allow you to sort posts by something other than title or date? Preferably a custom field? I'm begining to suspect I may have to write the bloody thing myself.

Context: the ConDFW website. Note how the guest and panelist names sort by first name? It's because they're in WP posts, which can sort only by title or date. Which is rather annoying, although something we can deal with for now. And we reeeeeally don't want to sort by going in and changing the dates to jigger the sorting. :P

I don't use WordPress, but what about these?

WP-SNAP (http://www.nateomedia.com/wares/downloads/wordpress/wp-snap/) is an alternative to AZIndex, but it lacks paging. In general I think AZIndex works better, but YMMV.

Cool, thanks!
