Sortable Columns is the easiest way to take control of the WordPress admin list tables.
With just one click, you can sort posts and pages by Title, Author, Date, Categories, Tags, and Comments – no coding required.
By default, WordPress only lets you sort by a few columns. With this plugin, you can override those limits and fully customize your editorial workflow.
