 * Hey there! This plugin is a great solution for what I need.
 * Not sure what’s going on, but it’s sorting by the wrong column. I have used “
   sort=3” which should correspond to the column titled “Department”.
 * I noticed that in the stafflist entry area, the column it’s sorting by instead
   is the only column not showing as a blue hyperlink. It also has a “/” in it; 
   it says “Phone / Ext” (also, the columns following it don’t have up/down arrows
   to the left/right of the column name).
 * Any help/guidance you could provide would be appreciated!
 * Thanks,
   Mike

 * Hello Mike,
 * You’re right, the columns weren’t numbered properly for the initial sort. We 
   made the adjustments [v3.2.1] and can confirm, now, the following list/sorts:
    1. First Name
    2. Last Name
    3. Phone
    4. Email
    5. Department
 * We didn’t see the need to add user sorting for ALL columns in the [backend] records
   management tool, but rather just the standard ones. But if there are enough requests,
   we would possibly reconsider.
 * Best
