Yep, the multi-key post doesn't require string keys. Also, when you want wild card behavior you need a view that has the non-wildcard selection criteria as a leading prefix. It's easiest to think about in terms of array slicing.
For the OP I would suggest multiple views with the required array orders for the expected queries.
