I've been trying struggling over the last 2 weeks to find a viable way to configure a Wordpress installation as a membership directory that pulls information from user profiles (custom and default) and displays it in a presentable (possibly sortable) format.
Initially, something along the lines of the Sobi2 plugin for Joomla! was searched for, but to no avail. I stumbled on to a fairly straightforward blog entry on the subject, but it just seemed to list plugins without instructions on how to use them. see below.

Any suggestions on decent plugins that can achieve what I'm looking for?
I'd like to avoid shelling out $175 for an enterprise plugin like aMember if possible.
