Thank you for this! I have an unfortunate situation in which the field my client wants to show in the columns is just called ‘date’ and of course wordpress just uses the post date. I found and tested a plugin called admincolumns that will allow me to show it, but I’m not sure they’re doing it… so if there’s a way that I can do it without a plugin, I’d prefer that…

That’s great. You can also just hook into the same function you used to define the columns earlier if you want to use the same column set:

add_filter( ‘manage_exhibition_posts_columns’, ‘exhibition_filter_posts_columns’ );
add_filter( ‘manage_edit-exhibition_sortable_columns’ , ‘exhibition_filter_posts_columns’ );

Gareth you are brilliant,
I have tried quite a few tutorials without success and your tutorial was the easiest to follow and you explained it in a few sentances whereas the other tutorials were hard to follow without an explanation.

I have achieved what I set out to do and I wish I found yours first.

Thank you.

To get sortable columns I used this little snippet.

function my_column_register_sortable( $columns )
{
$columns[‘start_date’] = ‘start_date’;
return $columns;
}
add_filter(“manage_edit-exhibition_sortable_columns”, “my_column_register_sortable” );

Thank you. This was much more succinct and easy to accomplish than I’d thought. Not sure why this had been a mystery to me. Well explained. The one part that tripped me up was your inclusion of ‘public’ function — I did, in fact, copy your code and change it, but I wasn’t putting it into a class. Got it sorted though.

Very helpful!
