Hi Alfred
To do a multiple column sorting just add the column that you want like this.

originally you have
Company=coy_name; coy_name desc;

for multi column ... lets say you want to sort first by the company type
and its name your order link will be

Company=companytype,coy_name; companytype desc, coy_name desc;
