I think what you want to do can be accomplished clicking on the  
column headings in the main table showing bib info.

First, click on the year column. This will re-order the list by year,  
scrambling the alpha order.

Then, click on the author column. This will preserve the date order  
within a given alpha category, but will re-order list alphabetically.

It is not possible to order the list by more than two fields (at  
least it wasn't last time I asked about this, which was a long time  
ago, admittedly).
