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.

OTOH View Manager is there for when folk want a lot more than just a presort

Remember. column sorts inherit a Bias from the previous sort
so Author then Date
