Sort orders by metafield in Shopify Admin

A Shopify Plus store I’m building adds a date to a custom metafield ‘shipping by’, so we can keep track of when an order should be sent out. This feature and adding that custom metafield correctly every time a new order is created works perfectly.

Now we would like to be able to sort orders by that metafield in the Shopify Admin Orders overview list. Is there any way to implement this? The only thing I’ve been able to find is the possibility to filter the products list with custom metafields, but I can’t seem to find anything on it for the orders list. A filter would also be a nice alternative if that’s possible, but I’d really prefer the ability to add that custom metafield as one of the columns in the orders list.
