Why does this work:

ERXSortOrderings newOrdering = 
ERXSortOrdering.sortOrderingWithKey("parentCompany.parentCompanyName", 
ERXSortOrdering.CompareAscending).then(Client.CLIENT_NAME.asc());

but this doesn't: 

ERXSortOrderings newOrdering1 = 
ERXSortOrdering.sortOrderingWithKey(Client.PARENT_COMPANY.dot(ParentCompany.PARENT_COMPANY_NAME).asc()).then(Client.CLIENT_NAME.asc());

Here is the error: The method sortOrderingWithKey(String, NSSelector) in the 
type ERXSortOrdering is not applicable for the arguments 
(ERXSortOrdering.ERXSortOrderings)

ERXSortOrderings newOrdering2 = 
ERXSortOrdering.sortOrderingWithKey(Client.PARENT_COMPANY.dot(ParentCompany.PARENT_COMPANY_NAME).asc()).then(Client.CLIENT_NAME.asc());

ERXSortOrderings newOrdering2 = 
ERXSortOrdering.sortOrderingWithKey(ParentCompany.PARENT_COMPANY_NAME.asc().then(Client.CLIENT_NAME.asc());

As long as I start out with "string, selector" then I can chain - then, then, 
etc. 

I must have some deep seated misunderstanding of ERXSortOrderings and how to 
create it.

this one works beautifully: (except on closer examination, I don't understand 
why it works with the parenthesis around the first element)

ERXSortOrderings newOrdering = 
ERXSortOrdering.sortOrderingWithKey("version.job.primaryKey", 
ERXSortOrdering.CompareAscending)
                .then(Invoice.VERSION.dot(Version.ITEM_INDEX).asc())
                .then(Invoice.VERSION.dot(Version.SUB_VERSION_NUMBER).asc())
                .then(Invoice.VERSION.dot(Version.REVISION_NUMBER).asc())
                .then(Invoice.INVOICE_DATE.asc() );
