One way to do it is by creating a new column that holds a combination of
some of your criteria, though this may not work for all examples, but if you
wanted to sort by gender / age / last name / first name, you would make a
new column that is last name & " " & first name, and sort using that column.

You can sort multiple times.

If you have to sort by 15 things, sort by 13-15, then 10-12, ..., then 1-3.

(I always screw it up the first time and sort by the wrong keys first, but then
I just do it again.)
