How about a scheme where you can hold down shift and then define 
the full order=3F First column you click on becomes 1st sort column, 
click again to reverse sort order, click next column to select 2nd 
sort depth level, etc.

It would mean you could set however many sorting levels you wanted 
fairly intuitively just by clicking on the column titles, without 
having to delve into sub menus or anything.

Clicking without shift would clear all the current sort order and just 
sort by the one column clicked on.
