Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
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.
If you’re searching for “WordPress sortable columns”, “wp sort posts”, or “wp sort pages”, this plugin is for you.
How is Sortable Columns different from other plugins?
Most plugins focus on reordering posts or pages with drag-and-drop. Sortable Columns is different: it lets you sort posts and pages by any admin column – instantly, with a single click.
You get fast sorting by Author, Categories, Tags, Date, or Comments, right in the admin list view.
