Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-8199:
-------------------------------------

I don't have particular suggestions. This functionality will eventually find a 
home in the future "C++ data frame API" that has been discussed for addition to 
the project.

> I'm just coming up to speed with Arrow and am noticing a dearth of examples 
> ... maybe I can help here.
> I'd like to implement multi-column sorting for Tables and just want to ensure 
> that I'm not duplicating existing work or proposing a bad design.
> My thought was to create a Table-specific version of SortToIndices() where 
> you can specify the columns and sort order.
> Then I'd create Array "views" that use the Indices to remap from the original 
> Array values to the values in sorted order. (Original data is not sorted, but 
> could be as a second step.) I noticed some of the array list variants keep 
> offsets, but didn't see anything that supports remapping per a list of 
> indices, but this may just be my oversight?
> Thanks in advance, Scott
