How to create custom sorting in sales grid custom column in Magento 2?

Question

I have created a custom column named printed which shows the invoice is printed or not and works well.

But how to apply sorting in in it like when i click on printed firstly it shows all data with pagination of printed yes then if i again click on it it sort by No.

So basically i want to know how to sort that data out by asc or desc order according to my printed value?

Any help is appreciated.

by default you should be able to click on the column to sort value ASC/DESC, unless you have added a <sortable>false</sortable> node inside the setting node like this:

<column name="store_id" class="Magento\Store\Ui\Component\Listing\Column\Store">
 <settings>
 <label translate="true">Purchase Point</label>
 <bodyTmpl>ui/grid/cells/html</bodyTmpl>
 <sortable>false</sortable>
 </settings>
</column>

If you have sortable node in there, delete it or set it to true.

If you mean to add a default sort when you go to the grid, without having to click on anything, then you have to add a sorting node.
