In the CMS Editor, when I am viewing a section I can click on a column to sort by that column, I would like to be able to sort on multiple columns?

Could you please add this to your list of future enhancements?

Hi mdegive,

Do you have an example of how this might work? When I click on a column heading, how would I differentiate between starting a new sort using only that column and adding that column as a secondary sort to my existing sort?
All the best,
Chris

How about you implement it like the search, where you can specify multiple fields to sort on

Thanks, I will add those details to your feature request.

If anyone reading is looking to preset the column sorting they can do that too.

If you have a News section and you wanted to sort by date and then by title, you would go in CMS Builder to:
Admin > Section Editors > News

then under "Sorting" tab, add this for "Order By"

date DESC, title
