 As author of the List Authors widget plugin, there are two options I
 suggest to add to the wp_list_authors template function: sort_by and
 count_limit. Both of these would address frequent feature requests for the
 author list.

 sort_by options:
 name - sorts by author name (or full name if show_fullname=1)
 post_count - sorts by number of author posts in descending order

 count_limit: when passed a positive integer, will limit the list to that
 number of authors.

 I reviewed the function and believe that count_limit would be almost
 trivial to implement via adding a limit to the SELECT statement. The
 post_count sorting is not as trivial but could be done. I would be willing
 to code and submit a patch.
