It's possible to do it through the 'manage_edit-{$post_type}_sortable_columns' filter but the column_key is different for 3.5+. A standardisation as for adding the column may be advantageous: a register_taxonomy argument and / or new filter. argument: show_column_sortable, boolean default false, requires show_admin_column to be set and true. In the same way that the get_columns function uses the new ""manage_taxonomies_for_{$post_type}_columns"", filter to add a taxonomy column there could be a ""manage_taxonomies_for_{$post_type}_sortable_columns"" filter in the get_sortable_columns function of the post-list class: i.e. {{{ function get_sortable_columns() { $default = array( 'title' => 'title', 'parent' => 'parent', 'comments' => 'comment_count', 'date' => array( 'date', true ) ); return apply_filters( ""manage_taxonomies_for_{$post_type}_sortable_columns"", $default ); } }}} The developer could then set the filter as normal {{{ add_filter( ""manage_taxonomies_for_{$post_type}_columns"", 'add_sortable_column' ); function add_sortable_column ( $columns ) { $columns[ taxonomy-tax_name ] = 'Taxonomy Label'; return $columns; } }}}",enhancement,assigned,normal,Future Release,Taxonomy,,normal,,has-patch dev-feedback 2nd-opinion,,
