In CentralAuth, the file SpecialGlobalUsers.php has a class GlobalUsersPager which extends UsersPager. UsersPager is the implementation for Special:ListUsers in MediaWiki core. This means that Special:GlobalUsers inherits the "Show only users with edits" and "Sort by creation date" checkboxes, but these controls have no effect on the output. Also the "Sort in descending order" checkbox behaves stangely.
A fix for this bug will be useful for Bug 33545, as it will make fixing that bug much easier. (see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33545 and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/79041/)
Gerrit patchset: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/97531/ I've just removed the the "Show only users with edits" and "Sort by creation date" checkboxes. I suspect the "Sort in descending order" still interacts weirdly with the username box, but I don't have any real way of testing it, as it seems to require several instances of a wiki plus some complex DB tables to be populated to test properly.
