Sorting authors using Movable Type doesn't work

I'm having problems trying to sort a series of authors who post online using
Movable Type. I've tried posting my problem to the Movable Type support
group, but no one has even answered my question. So either it can't be done,
or no one cares to respond.

In any case, as some of you might know, Movable Type is a PHP developed site,
so I'm hoping that there might be an answer using stricly PHP and not MT's
tools. Below is my original question that I posted to MT's Support.

------
I'm using the MTBlogs tag to pull up all the authors on our main web page at
our institute. I'm trying to sort the authors by their most recent post, but
nothing changes sorting-wise. The only sorting that goes on is with the
author's personal posts, but not between authors. Also the order of the
authors seems completely random by Movable Type. So what I would like to see
is the last author to post be at the top of the list, followed by the author
who posted before right below and so on.
As you can see on this site:
http://www.watsonblogs.org/
I have a MOST RECENT POSTS and WATSON BLOGGERS. I'm using the MTBlogs and
MTEntries.

Many many thanks to anyone who might be able to answer this.

Cheers,

A different question this time. I have a DataGrid bound to a collection. Is there any way for me to allow sorting? The DataGrid.AllowSorting=true doesn't work, but that's probably because it can't assume the data types and thus can't sort them. I thought about implementing IComparable, but I don't see how that would work since it doesn't apply generically to all the fields/properties of the class. Thanks.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
