I wish we had more documentation on this. I'd suggest you create a
Test view mode to experiment in. Sort the first column normally (LMB
click), then hold down the control key and LMB click (sorry, I wrote
RMB before) on the column you want for the second level sorting. You
should see a number 2 appear next to the column name, and a number 1
next to the first column you sorted by.

That's how it works on my machine. It's possible that you have to have
some kind of system setting selected, though.  Wish we had
documentation.

When you've got it perfected, with all the different sorting levels
going in the right direction (ascending or descending), RMB-click over
any of the column headings and use Save To to save the setting to the
View Modes for which it's appropriate.  (Er, actually I think you can
do that to save only the column settings, but it might also save
whatever other settings you have in your Test view mode.  So best to
experiment before overwriting already existing view modes.)
