<p>Here’s how I recommend using the class.</p>
<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:<br />
$cols = array(<br />
    array(<br />
        ‘name’      => ‘restaurant_name’,<br />
        ‘title’     => ‘Restaurant Name’,<br />
        ‘css_class’ => ‘restaurant-name’,<br />
        ‘is_default’    => true<br />
    ),<br />
    array(<br />
        ‘name’      => ‘cuisine_type’,<br />
        ‘title’     => ‘Cuisine Type’,<br />
        ‘css_class’ => ‘cuisine-type’,<br />
        ‘default_order’ => ‘desc’<br />
    )<br />
);<br />
$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>
<p>        have_columns() ) : ?><br />
            have_columns() ) : $sortable->the_column() ?><br />
                <th class="the_column_css_class() ?>”><br />
                    <a href="the_column_next_link( ‘url’ ) ?>”>the_column_title() ?></a></p>
<p>        …</p>
