[Answered] Is it possible to sort 3 ways?

New user here. I just installed the latest version and have imported some of my ebooks. I was wondering if it is possible to sort is a variety of ways in the default window.

I've got my main window set up so that it is columns in this order: Title, Author, Date, Size, Series, Publisher.

What I was wondering is if there is a way to organize further from the usual "Sort by Author" or "Sort by Title."

Something like this. Sort books by the Author, then alphabetically by Title and finally grouped (and sorted) if they are a part of a series.

Something like this:

The Constant Gardener - John le Carre
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - John le Carre
The Gunslinger - Stephen King - Dark Tower [1]
The Drawing of the Three - Stephen King - Dark Tower [2]
The Wastelands - Stephen King - Dark Tower [3]
Bag of Bones - Stephen King
Christine - Stephen King
Eyes of the Dragon - Stephen King
Empress - Karen Miller - Godspeaker [1]
The Riven Kingdom - Karen Miller - Godspeaker [2]
Hammer of God - Karen Miller - Godspeaker [3]
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - J. K. Rowling - Potter [1]
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - J. K. Rowling - Potter [2]
The Casual Vacancy - J. K. Rowlling

In my example, you can see that the books are sorted initially by Author. Then, grouped and sorted first by Series (in order, not alphabetically), then in singular Titles (not part of a Series).

Is something like this possible in the main Calibre window?

Thank you in advance for any and all help that you can give. Any information will be most appreciated.

Thanks.
