Re: How can I change the sort order of a People Picker in a SharePoint List Form?

As far as I know, People Picker does not allow resorting of the results. The only way I have seen sorting done is via code (or via qRules), and that's for data in a secondary data source or in the main data source.

There have been some discussions re: sorting a secondary data source:

Clay Cobb's tutorial might provide a good alternative:

How can I change the sort order of a People Picker in a SharePoint List Form?

I have a SharePoint list that I created an InfoPath form for. One of the SP list fields is a people picker that looks at a select SharePoint group. When using the field in the IP form, the display information is 'displayName' yet the sort order is 'accountName'. We use randomly generated account names, so the sort orders do not match. Is there a way to change the sort order of a PeoplePicker control? Do I have to go all the way into the xsd schema files to do this? If so, can you provide a sample so I can replicate?
