Sortable admin columns, when data isn’t coming from post_meta

However, since I’m not using a numeric value stored in a meta key, the {name}_column_orderby function will not work for me.

How can I create sortable columns within the manage-edit screens, when the information that I’m listing does not come from the post_meta table?
