Yeah, that sounds right. But now that you've "voiced" it, I can see that being a concern. Heh, an option would be needed for "Multi-column sorting" in the preferences, or something. > Is there a concise way of communicate that state back to the user? Honestly, I hadn't thought that far. Maybe a slight shading of the column header? After a couple of clicks, the first-order column would be the darkest? Or perhaps a number gets added to the column headers (Title - 1, Artist - 2). > One more point. What exactly would be the result of clicking, in this > particular order, one after another, <Genre>, <Artist>, <Album>, <Artist>? In SQL think, nothing. The final <Artist> is superfluous since you've already sorted by <Artist>. The question is what would happen from a user interface perspective. I don't know? Nothing? Or perhaps that resets <Artist> to the first-ordering column? Both could make sense to me, especially if the state is communicated to the user somehow. What do you think?
