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?

Hi mdegive,

This isn't currently possible without some custom programming. Please let me know if that's something you're interested in and our consulting department can arrange a project with you.
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
