sortable

Able to arrange

Sortable describes something that can be arranged in order—alphabetically, numerically, by date, or by other criteria.

The term appears most often in computing contexts, where sortable columns in spreadsheets or databases let users reorder data with a click: Make sure the date field is sortable.

Physical objects can also be sortable: The beads are sortable by color and size.
