This module will print a list of users and extensions. Handy for creating a company directory listing quickly.

Changing order to be by name
In our context having a list of extensions is VERY useful, but it only makes sense if they are ordered by NAME rather than by extension.
(This assumes a little familiarity with command line, file editing, etc. Also assumes that your setup directories are where mine are.)
$ cd /var/www/admin/modules/printextensions
$ vi functions.inc.php
on line 6 change the "ORDER BY extension" to read "ORDER BY name"
on line 16 prepend a # to the beginning of the line so that the line that originally looks like this:
if (isset($users)) sort ($users);
now should look like this:
#if (isset($users)) sort ($users);
Go back into the GUI in FreePBX, reload your page, and you should be looking at a list that is ordered by name rather than ordered by extension.
Enjoy!
(NOTE: you may have to do this fix again if this extension gets a new update or something like that. This may well be a nonstandard way to do customizations. I'm a complete newbie at FreePBX but figured out a way to fix this problem I was having and so I'm sharing it with the rest of you -- if someone wants to correct this to a more standard way of doing customizations please feel free)
