When looking at the members list (and dealing with members) there are a couple things I think would be very helpful! First, I would like it so that a group can have more than one administrator (since my dream has two Rahs and we both need administrator status for the group to do edits or what have you). Secondly, when viewing the members list in the edit panel it would be extremely useful if you could allow us to "sort by" the different columns. Like clicking on the titles sorts them alphabetically by title etc.

While it's not a big deal for the group now (there are only four people involved so far) if/when the group becomes more extensive it will be a real pain to find everyone in a certain rank or title etc. Of course, the ctrl+F function works fine, but it would be a real boon to be able to sort them!

You are currently able to give edit access of all kinds to whoever you want, for making edits, managing members, updating the applications, etc. etc.

There's only two powers that cannot be given away:

1) Demoting the creator of the group. Only the creator of the group can give away the keys to the kingdom
2) Deleting the entire group. Only the creator (or current admin if the creator stepped down) has this power.

Everything else you can deputize someone else to do. I am not currently considering creating two admins, as it increases programming complexity, adds no appreciable conveniences for users (I don't think users really want to give others the ability to kick them out of their own group or delete their baby), but drastically increases the risk of potential abuse that would ultimately fall on the overworked mods to handle.

The sort function is for sure planned, though.

The admin thing makes sense I suppose. No worries there - it was just a thought. The sort function is, to my mind, more vital.

Thanks for the reply!
