I am in Japan and like you I want to be able to display users' lastnames first.
Do you know if I can do this by just changing a few lines of code?
Your help will be much appreciated.

With regards to ordering users by their lastname, I would also like to have my users lastnames displayed first.
I'm in Japan, and here it is custom to have ones family name written first, thus it looks odd for users to have their given name displayed first.
Of course, when registering students I could just switch their names, however when they looked at their own registration information, they would see their family name in the place of 'given name'.
Is there a simple change I can make to the php files, as there is with the changes needed to order users by last name?

I just installed Moodle on my Mac a few days ago.
All seems to be going well. However, I noticed that not only would it be useful to make 'ID number' obligatory, but also to have it listed on the page that lists students to be enrolled to courses. Futhermore, it would be a great help if this list - the Potential students list - could be sorted by ID number, or name.
I realise that it is possible to have students self enrol with an enrolment key, but I can imagine that there may be some situatiuons in which it would be easier to have students enrol their own students.

Your 'uploaduser.php' worked fine for me on my Mac. Thank you.
Mac users should remember that if they use 'uploaduser.php' they should make sure that their csv file does not have Mac line endings. I am not a programmer so apologies for the lask of correct nomenclature, but when I first uploaded my list of 14 students via uploaduser.php only one student was uploaded. So, using Tex-Edit I converted the file to a Unix file, and was able to successfully upload all 14 students.
