15791	wp_dropdown_users ignores defaults	duck_		"`wp_dropdown_users` no longer orders results by display_name by default, because only the $args array passed to the function is used to determine which users to include.

'''Steps to reproduce'''

Have two users:
{{{
User 1: login = aaaa, display name = zzzz
User 2: login = zzzz, display name = aaaa
}}}

Call `wp_dropdown_users`. Expect User 2 to be displayed first, but actually ordered by login.

Two patches attached, use $r in `get_users` call and either set default to name or allow display_name in WP_User_Query. v2 is probably more backwards compatible (raises the question of backwards compatibility of other orderby values, e.g. just ""email"" now instead of ""user_email"". Also, the codex suggests ""user_nicename"" as a valid orderby value, but it looks like this, or ""nicename"", doesn't even work with WP_User_Query)."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	3.1	General	3.1	normal	fixed	has-patch
