Yes. But truthfully no one
needs composite sorting.

Sort on
Title column first
then Author.
I use the below tweak (Preferences - Tweaks) so when calibre starts my columns are sorted the way I like.
Quote:
# Provide a set of columns to be sorted on when calibre starts # The argument is None if saved sort history is to be used
# otherwise it is a list of column,order pairs. Column is the
# lookup/search name, found using the tooltip for the column
# Order is 0 for ascending, 1 for descending
# For example, set it to [('authors',0),('title',0)] to sort by
# title within authors.
sort_columns_at_startup = ('authors',0),('series',0),('title',0)

My book list ends up with all Authors sorted. Within the Authors the Series are in order and books not in Series for a author are in alphabetical order by Title.
