Multi-Sort Advanced Tables now allows your users to sort their tables by multiple columns. Using the new Multi-Sort dropdown, users can add additional columns to sort by, easily change sort direction, and even reorder the columns. And Multi-Sort is completely integrated with Preset Views and User Views.
