It uses the type and formatting of your\u00a0columns to decide how to sort your data. If you configured your column to\u00a0display a user&#8217;s full name, it will sort alphabetically on the actual name (and not the user ID). Dates work\u00a0the other way around: you configure any way to display it, Admin Columns will still sort by the actual time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16848 size-full\" title=\"Custom sortable columns\" src=\"https:\/\/www.admincolumns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/users_sort.png\" alt=\"Users overview with custom sortable columns.
