I have several instances where I need to group by more than one condition.

For example, I create a sales report where I show BY DAY the total of
orders and their status (shipped, cancelled, etc). I'm already grouping by
day to get the daily totals, how can I also group by status? As it is, I
do a separate day-grouped query for each status and output each one into a
structure that I then display (and graph)...

Another example is inventory. I have products of varying conditions in
different types of locations. I want to show a table of condition/location
like this:

        Online  Overstock
New     56      355
Used    34      234
Crap    34      39

I can do one query and group by condition (I have to sum the quantity from
multiple inventory locations to get that one number, that's where my group
function goes). Then I have to do another query to group by type of
location. But that gives me separate totals like this:

Online          124
Overstock       628

and

New             411
Used            268
Crap            73

Any ideas?
