Reorder Users on Login Screen

Hello Garuda users.

I created a new user and I can see this user on a login screen but third in order after the guest user. Because I wanted new user ordered before the guest one and since I don't need a guest user I deleted guest. However, the guest user came back after next reboot and I couldn't find any option to reorder users in the settings.

Edit: No dual boot. This is my daily driver :slight_smile:

I may be wrong here but gdm use,s /var/log/wtmp to determine last login,s
You could delete /var/log/wtmp then reboot
Note!! take a backup of /var/log/wtmp as you will lose the login history for your system

To remove the guest account:

I’m not aware of any config to reorder the list.
There is a way to hide users, if this can help:
https://man.archlinux.org/man/sddm.conf.5#HideUsers=
Or you can define Min or Max UserID shown (this makes me think that the list is ordered by UserID), but I don’t think that the list can be ordered.
