Bug Description

title says it all.

if there are infrequently used user(s) who comes alphabetically before the usual user, you have to down arrow on the login screen to get to the usual user every time.

what's more you can't even use 'minimum-uid' or 'hidden-users' in /etc/lightdm/users.conf as a workaround, since lightdm in ubuntu ignores those configuration options (see Bug #857651 ) .
