Public bug reported:

When a machine have several users, lightdm show then sorted by name and
the users dont have any way to change that order.

that can be annoying, example:
all laptops have a admin user and the normal user. As admin starts with "a" , its the default user always, ready to enter the password... this forces the machine user to select its user and enter the password. 

Per bug #857651, we cant hide the admin user... lightdm doesnt remember
the last used username nor use it as the default and (AFAIK), there is
no way to change the user order.

the only workaround is to rename the user to z-admin or something, so it
gives room to the other user, but either way, as its now lightdm is too
much locked for a single user system
