Is "Status" a Value that can be Sorted?

How does the Status Icon get to become part of the column content?
Can it be gotten on it’s own / and used as a sort factor?

e.g. Sort the column and have all Perfect/Gold Icons listed together vs. imperfect?

    if column == 'status':
        if self.status is not None:
            title = self.status
        else:
            title = self.metadata['album']
        if self.tracks:
            linked_tracks = 0
            for track in self.tracks:
                if track.is_linked():
                    linked_tracks += 1

            text = '%s\u200E' % (title)
            return text
