pass variable through url in wordpress

Well, as suggested by @vl4d1m1r4 , I have used the web server(in my case apache) rewrite rule to rewrite the path. Some-what I have achieved the desired result.
In function.php
I have written the following code to update the rewrite rule in wordpress(.htaccess)

add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_custom_query_vars' );
function add_custom_query_vars( $vars )
{
    array_push($vars, "test_year", "test_postid", "test_title");
    return $vars;
}
function custom_rewrite_rule()
{
    add_rewrite_rule('^test/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)?','index.php?pagename=test&test_year=$matches[1]&test_postid=$matches[2]&test_title=$matches[3]','top');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule');

After adding the above code, I have re-saved the permalink settings(setting>>permalink)

To Get the parameter in custom-template-page i.e test.php. I have used the following query.

echo get_query_var('test_title');
echo get_query_var('test_postid');
echo get_query_var('test_year');

How to pass extra variable in WP admin edit.php

You can do this with admin_menu action,
The following code should work :

        if( $v['2'] == 'edit.php' ) {
            $submenu['edit.php'][$k]['2'] = 'edit.php?orderby=123&order=desc';
            break;
        }
    }
}, 99 );
