Summary: Let users sort across multiple columns

Initial Comment:
Sorting in the library should support the user sorting 
across multiple columns. A sort from one display of a 
table should be used as input for the sort on the next 
column.

eg. From the initial table (warning: ugly ascii art follows)
Name | Dept  | Role
=======================
Bob  | Sales | Manager 
Joe  | Dev   | Engineer
Fred | Dev   | Manager

Sorting this by Name gives:
Name | Dept  | Role
=======================
Bob  | Sales | Manager 
Fred | Dev   | Manager
Joe  | Dev   | Engineer

Sorting this by Dept gives:
Name | Dept  | Role
=======================
Fred | Dev   | Manager
Joe  | Dev   | Engineer
Bob  | Sales | Manager 

Note that Fred now comes *before* Joe in the list.

Implementing this would mean that sorting would work in 
the same way that it does in standard windows list 
views, so would work the way many users would expect.
