I would like an easy way on the back-end (admin) to view users in order of most posts.

We do members interviews on a regular basis and I must change the option below to show 20, 30, 40...... top posters, copy the list, then reset to 6 every time I want to choose the next interview member.

Any suggestions as for a more simple way to do this?

Thanks

As it is not built in and probably little call for something like that to be in core I would suggest your best bet would be to install a SQL query plugin (like 'SQL Executioner' for example - which I have not myself tried) - tell me exactly what you want and I can let you have the query you would need to run to return the data required.

to extend on Andy's point, I would right a small plugin that added a new tab to the sp users admin panel...  currently, it grabs a list of sp users ordered by display name... but it uses an older wp user object which doesnt know anything about user posts, so not easy to modify...   but we use it because it has built in paging and user display name search...

If you simply wanted a list of members sorted by post count and didnt need the paging or search ability, it would be quite simple to generate a list ordered by post count...

That is exactly what I need Mr Papa. A simple list of members sorted by post count. Would be even better if it included the members email address so I wouldn't have to go back to the users list and search for that information.

Thanks.

now you just need the plugin to be written... ;)

since its first time anyone has asked, quite low in priority for us... you could use our custom plugin service if you really wanted it (see banner in sidebar)...
