 * I have 2 test entries in the page I’ve provided the url for. A question about
   the sortable option. I’m expecting that because I have set the RX or Scaled and
   Gender field to sortable that one on this page I should be able to click on the
   header of the table in the page and sort according to that column. That is not
   happening. What am I missing.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsortable-question%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’m seeing that it is within the plugin settings that the data is sortable. Is
   there a way to have a secondary sort order. I currently have it sorted by gender
   but need the genders sorted by RX or Scaled.

 * You can set up the sorting in the shortcode, which lets you sort by multiple 
   fields…for example:
 * `[pdb_list orderby='gender,rx' order='desc,asc']`
 * You’ll probably need to adjust that to what you need, but you get the general
   idea.
 * The list display on the frontend is not normally sortable by clicking on the 
   header…the list on the admin side does this.
