"It appears that there were a lot of users that I created recently that got created under the letter G in the TwikiUsers page. Any idea why? I just created a new user, BobU__ however, it looks like his got placed in the B section. I found the last person I created, VenkatK__and this user account is in the G section. Maybe it is anything that is above the letter G. It looks that way according to all the ones that should not be here in the G section have letters that are above the letter G."

FIled as Bug 7311.

Discussion and Answer

I think the TWikiUserMappingContrib adds users in ASCII order to the list, scanning from top. If the list is out of sync, it will add at the wrong place. out of syn can happen for example if a user is renamed or deleted with backlink fix checked. You need to sort the list manually or with a shell command to fix.
