This happens just in the initial view, the following times `$_GET['orderby']` and `$_GET['order']` are set and the links are set up properly. As far as I see, in some cases the fix would be simple (e.g. for Users, see `get_sortable_columns()`) but in other cases like Posts and Pages it's not so simple. Perhaps a more general solution would be making `WP_List_Table` aware of each screen initial ""orderby"" and ""order"" but this would require some changes to the main class and some leads eyes on it. Any thoughts more than welcome. See related #32170 for which I'd say this is a blocker." defect (bug) closed normal Administration 4.2 normal wontfix has-patch dev-feedback ui, accessibility
