When editing one of my custom post types I want to be able to list all entries by a custom field instead of the date they are published (which, for a custom post type probably isn't relevant). I got a lead from the comments of a blog post about custom post types and the author said it was possible and that he even made it so you could click on the column names for a custom sort. He mentioned the posts_orderbyposts_orderby function which I noted in my own comments but now I can find the blog post anymore. Any suggestions? I saw one solution that used

add_action('wp', 'check_page');

add_action('wp', 'check_page');

And the check_pagecheck_page function used add_filteradd_filter to change the query but I'm pretty sure it would only work in the theme files, not in the admin area.
