<?php
add_action('init', 'site_register_wp_grid_sorters');
function site_register_wp_grid_sorters()
{
if (function_exists('wp_grid_sorter_register_sort_key')) {
$args = array(
'name' => 'Sort All Posts',
'post_type' => 'post'
);
wp_grid_sorter_register_sort_key('sort_all_posts', $args);
}
}
?>
<?php
$args = array(
'name' => 'Home Page Featured',
'query' => new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'featured',
'value' => 1
)
)
))
);
wp_grid_sorter_register_sort_key('home_page_featured', $args);

This is automatically hooked into WP_Query. Please refer to the documentation for order by a meta key in the WordPress Codex.
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'meta_key' => 'home_page_featured'
);
$myCustomQuery = new WP_Query($args);
?>
