Comment (by jameskoster):

 Good points, I agree it is questionable why a user might want to sort by
 status and that filtering is generally more useful.

 However it would be good to be consistent around this. Currently in data
 views it ''is'' possible to sort by author, which is an equally
 questionable feature.

 So my question is; should it be possible to sort by any text based field,
 or should we be selective about it? The former feels more flexible, even
 if it is only serving very niche use cases.
