[O] Table sorting on two or more columns?

2014-01-18 Thread James Harkins 
Is there an existing org function to sort a table based on more than one 
column? E.g., given:


| Type | Term  | Description  |
|--+---+--|
| Filt | LPF   | Butterworth lowpass filter   |
| Filt | HPF   | Butterworth highpass filter  |
| Osc  | Pulse | Band-limited pulse wave oscillator   |
| Osc  | LFSaw | Non-band-limited sawtooth oscillator |
| Osc  | Saw   | Band-limited sawtooth oscillator |

... is there a variant of C-c ^ that will group the Types together in 
alphabetical order, and then sort each group of Terms?

Try using C-c ^ twice:
  - first on Term
  - then on Type
  
  You will get:
  | Type | Term  | Description  |
  |--+---+--|
  | Filt | HPF   | Butterworth highpass filter  |
  | Filt | LPF   | Butterworth lowpass filter   |
  | Osc  | LFSaw | Non-band-limited sawtooth oscillator |
  | Osc  | Pulse | Band-limited pulse wave oscillator   |
  | Osc  | Saw   | Band-limited sawtooth oscillator |
