Post Quick Edit Customization - Custom Field as a dropdown

Please see my original question here http://shorttext.com/nwPllEs

I'm trying to rewrite it more logically so I can get a right answer. Fully working function will get prize full money.

Question

I would like a function to drop into my functions.php

It simply needs to add a column to my post-type 'post' - the column is labeled 'Mailer Order'

This is where the column should go, next to my views column... http://i.imgur.com/g2DrH.png

This column needs to display the value of my postmeta custom field, which has meta key of 'mailer_order' - this column also needs to be sortable when the column header is clicked.

I also need a drop down form in my QUICK EDIT section. NOT in the post editor.

The dropdown menu needs to populate my 'mailer_order' custom field. The drop down values simply need to be 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.


For someone who knows what they are doing, could do this in a flash. I have spent about neally 5 hours and cant figure it out.


Any help would be so helpful.

Thanks
Josh

      Thank you Nilesh,

      But this is slightly off what I'm after.

      Your function actually adds this to my post. I need this to appear in my 'quick edit' more importantly.

      Thanks

      I tried this, but the all I could get to work was putting the columns in, and weirdly the column value was being added to another column which is generated by a plugin. See here...
