Author filters plugin has been developed with an idea to add an option to sort page, post, custom post type listing with respect to authors.
Currently in WordPress core installation we have an option to sort post, page, custom post type grids with respect to category etc. However, currently an option to sort or filter the records with respect to author adds one more option to administrators to sort the listing.

Author Filters

Using this in WordPress 4.8, works perfectly for Pages, Posts and Custom Post Types.  Simply activate the Plugin, that's it.

Does the Job!

Author filters plugin integrates an author filter drop down to sort listing on post, page, custom post type in admin.

This plugin adds a drop-down list with the ability to sort your blog posts :
<ul>
<li>by title</li>
<li>by date (newest to oldest)</li>
<li>by date (oldest to newest)</li>
<li>sort by date last modified</li>
<li>randomly</li>
</ul>
You can find a demo here : http://www.spoils.fr/ 
The widget is named “Trier les articles” on the sidebar.
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ul>
<li>Widget title: the title of the widget</li>
<li>3 checkboxes in order to display or not items in the drop-down list.</li>
</ul>
Since the version 2.0.0, it is now possible to change the default order for your categories. 
In the category editing page, you will now find a dropdown list.

Posts Order Widget

Add the ability to sort the posts by context rather than descending date.
