Hi,

Based on my research, the “Select People (and Group) – Web Dialog” page is located at 14Hive\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\picker.aspx. Open this .aspx file, you will find assembly Microsoft.Sharepoint.ApplicationPages, which is in the _app_bin folder of your web application root: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\<yourwebapp>\_app_bin.

By default, it will sort alphabetically by Display Name column. So you need to recreate a new picker.aspx to replace the default one, then sort the result according to your requirements, for example, last name and first name.

Hi,

I think you will have to customize the PeoplePicker. Here is a good blog post on how to customize the EntityEditorWithPicker: http://igorinnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/customizing-entityeditorwithpicker.html
