DataTable sortable works on normal column with field attribute, but does not work on template column without field attribute.
Is there any way I can choose to sort on template column as follows?

<Column :sortable="true">
<template #body="slotProps">
{{ calculateScore(slotProps.data.items) }}
</template>
</Column>

It is expected, column has no idea what to use for sorting. One solution is adding a field to your row data like calculated items. Templating is useful for adding custom content but table needs metadata to use in sorting like a field.
Other alternative is custom sorting which will be in 2.0.0-final where you can implement your own sorting.
