WP_User_Query bug

[zkingdesign]

I've got an issue when doing a query with WP_User_Query and trying to list from a specific role AND using 'orderby' => 'post_count'. The query simply fails to list the correct results.

Here are the query arguments:

<?php
$args = array(
        'fields' => array( 'ID', 'user_login', 'display_name' ),
        'role' => 'expert',
        'number'         => $numPosts,
        'offset' => $page > 1 ?  $numPosts : 0,
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'orderby' => 'post_count'
        );

If I remove the 'role' argument from the query it works, but with the 'role' included it doesn't.

Welcome to trac! Have you added new 'expert' role?

Yes, the 'expert' role is registered, and it's working OK, it only list users who have that role, but 'orderby' => 'post_count' ain't working.

I have tested with below query. It works fine for me. I am getting correct results.

<?php
$args = array(
        'fields' => array( 'ID', 'user_login', 'display_name' ),
        'role' => 'administrator',
        'number' => '10',
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'orderby' => 'post_count'
);

This is the query I get, when I dump the $query variable

Query:

<?php
        $args = array(
                'fields' => array( 'ID', 'user_login', 'display_name' ),
        'role' => 'expert',
                'number'         => $numPosts,
        'offset' => $page > 1 ?  $numPosts : 0,
        'order' => 'DESC',
        'orderby' => 'post_count'
        );

$query = new WP_User_Query( $args );

        var_dump($query);

What do you get when you do var_dump( new WP_Query( $args ) ); on your original query that doesn't work? You can remove the results from the dumped object if there's sensitive information.

Edit: Sorry, nvm. I see the link now.
