By default, the platform does not have this option. You can use the following function code.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.

2. Under Select theme to edit, choose (BuddyBoss Child/whatever theme is active), then click Select.

3. Below Theme Files, select Theme Functions (functions.php).

4. Append the code just before the closing PHP tag “?>”:

add_filter( 'bp_nouveau_get_groups_filters', function( $filters ){
// here they can modify the $filters array
// default value for this array is
$filters = array(  
 'alphabetical' => __( 'Alphabetical', 'buddyboss' ),
 'active'       => __( 'Recently Active', 'buddyboss' ),
 'popular'      => __( 'Most Members', 'buddyboss' ),
 'newest'       => __( 'Newly Created', 'buddyboss' ),
);
return $filters;
}, 1 );

If you are choosing to set your groups Alphabetically by default then you can remove the 'active' 'popular' and 'newest' line from this code. We provide these codes so that you can choose which you need to suit your setup ad then you remove the other 3 functions.
