 Posts page of dmin area ( wp-admin/edit.php ) is not sortable by Authors.

 By typing the urls shown below works.
 wp-admin/edit.php?orderby=author&order=asc
 wp-admin/edit.php?orderby=author&order=desc

 I propose to modify WP_Posts_List_Table::get_sortable_columns
 (WP_Posts_List_Table is located in wp-admin/includes/class-wp-posts-lista-
 belt.php), as shown below.

 {{{
         function get_sortable_columns() {
                 return array(
                         'title'    => 'title',
                         'parent'   => 'parent',
                         'author'   => 'author',  // I added here.
                         'comments' => 'comment_count',
                         'date'     => array( 'date', true )
                 );
         }
 }}}

 This modification adds the link to "Author" on the posts list table, which
 makes easier to sort posts by Author.
