Here’s how I recommend using the class.
<ol>
<li>Either activate this plugin, or include the class in your own plugin file.</li>
<li>When you start to render the page with the post list, define some columns and then instantiate the class: 
$cols = array( 
 array( 
 ‘name’ => ‘restaurant_name’, 
 ‘title’ => ‘Restaurant Name’, 
 ‘css_class’ => ‘restaurant-name’, 
 ‘is_default’ => true 
 ), 
 array( 
 ‘name’ => ‘cuisine_type’, 
 ‘title’ => ‘Cuisine Type’, 
 ‘css_class’ => ‘cuisine-type’, 
 ‘default_order’ => ‘desc’ 
 ) 
); 
$sortable = new BBG_CPT_Sort( $cols );</li>
<li>As you render your table, you can use all sorts of fun methods to create column headers. Example:</li>
</ol>
 have_columns() ) : ?> 
 have_columns() ) : $sortable->the_column() ?> 
 <th class="the_column_css_class() ?>”> 
 <a href="the_column_next_link( ‘url’ ) ?>”>the_column_title() ?></a>
