Default Multilevel Sorting?

Is there a way to get around the 3 level limit in sortng. Want to sort by 4
sets to 4 levels or more.

Not in one fell swoop, first sort the least significant etc
assume you would sort by columns A, B, C and D (in that order of
significance)
select C:D and sort in that order, then select A:D and sort by A

Sort the least significant column first, then sort on the most
significant 3.

Hi, Peo:

If the data requires 4 columns, A:D, I don't think you want to "select C:D and
sort" do you? That will uncouple the data in columns C and D from that in
columns A and B.

I think you mean to select columns A:D, sort on D (or C and D), then with A:D
still selected, sort on A, B, and C (or A and B). No?
