 * First of all you need a way to add the field to the user edit screen. Please 
   notice that our plugin does not provide a solution for this. You can add products
   like Type or ACF to add extra fields for your post types.
 * The next step is to be sure at least 1 record is available with the new field
   populated. Then you can use our plugin to add a custom field column and select
   the desired field. Our free version does not support sorting. You could choose
   to buy [our pro plugin](https://www.admincolumns.com/) that comes with sorting,
   filtering and inline edit support and more awesome features or you could write
   your own code to make the column sortable.
 * Here’s some documentation to make the columns sortable on your own ([http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/quick-tip-make-your-custom-column-sortable–wp-25095](http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/quick-tip-make-your-custom-column-sortable–wp-25095))
 * Our you could use our pro plugin

 * $screen->id is a combination of page + screen.
    for example a custom post type
   called ‘Demo’ it’s
 * manage_edit-demo_sortable_column
