 * Hi,
 * “Sort posts on the Manage Posts view by visible editorial metadata date fields”
 * I don’t see this feature? How is it used?
 * Thanks,
 * Mike

 * When one or more of your editorial metadata date fields are “viewable”, you’ll
   have an extra column that appears in your Manage Posts list table.

 * Hi Daniel,
 * I’ve installed the latest update but am not actually seeing the ability to sort
   by my metadata columns. This is via Posts Menu>All Posts.
 * Any thoughts?

 * Did you make your editorial metadata date field “viewable”?

 * I did. I can actually see the columns of the viewable metadata, it’s just not
   sortable (gray headers instead of blue).

 * Only date fields are sortable at this time.
