Default Sort 4 Columns

I want to sort 4 columns of data. A thru D. I want to sort by B then C then
D then A. Is this possible. The data sort feature only lets you do 3 at a
time.

Do the sort twice.

The first sort with one key--the most minor.

The second sort with the other 3 keys.

I thought there was a modification that could be done to the sort tool, but
doing it twice will work. Thanks
