One other option is if you can add another column which is the concatenation
of all columns you want to sort.

=A1&B1&C1&D1

You then sort just on that column that you added.

I have the following table:

After I sort on column A, B and C I get:
1 A 1 A

I want to include column D into the sort. Right now the sort is wrong
on row 7 and after that few more rows. How to sort so that column D is
sorted and column A, B and C also remain sorted? Thanks.


Okay nevermind, First I have to sort on D and minor ones. Then I have
to apply the major sort as the last sort, working my way out backwards.
