 * I have created an admin post column containing formulated information based upon
   a WP_Query. I understand how to sort post meta data using the “pre_get_posts”
   filter and
 * ‘$query->set( ‘meta_key’, ‘xyz’ );’
 * However, how can I sort figures which are not readily available within post meta
   data, but are calculations such data?
