If you aren’t registering the taxonomy yourself, you can still alter the args via the https:\/\/www.ractoon.com\/wordpress-sortable-admin-columns-for-custom-posts\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n To modify the columns for a specific post type you can use the The filter passes the current The above code example does a couple things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now these columns will appear when viewing the admin listing for your custom post type, but there won\u2019t be any data in them. To assign values for each column you can use the With the above code in place you should now have data displaying for each post. Nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n A handy feature of the WordPress admin tables is the ability to sort them by column data. You can do this with your custom columns as well with some additional code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make your custom columns sortable you\u2019ll use the All we\u2019re doing here is setting the custom columns that should be allowed to sort, in this case the custom taxonomy and our ACF field. Now the column headers for these columns will appear as links and be sortable just like default WordPress columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By default WordPress does a decent job of sorting the data, including taxonomies recently. However, for meta data (such as the ACF field we\u2019ve added) it needs some guidance. To get things working as expected you\u2019ll need to modify the query for the table data. For this we\u2019ll be using the Here we modify the query if it is sorting by the The simple solution: register_taxonomy() now has support for that built in via the show_admin_column setting passed via arguments. developer.wordpress.org\/reference\/functions\/register_taxonomy.
