No, not at the moment. The current sort routine, as you've noticed,
only sorts on the clicked column.
It would be interesting to come up with something like that, perhaps
keeping the current behavior when clicking on columns, but doing a cumulative
sort when shift-clicking, in the way that shift-clicking in a text control
extends the selection instead of simply setting it.
