Why use two columns? Instead make the composite generate values that sort the way you want, using something like ZZZZZZ for undefined values.

View Manager is a bit of a help. It's unfortunate that it can't do a sorting-only view and leaving the columns unchanged.

Yes, especially if the changes I submitted are accepted. At that point you will be able to use Action Chains to invoke a saved sort with a keyboard shortcut, or add the sort to Favourites. And before you ask, no, I am not interested in adding shortcuts to sorts in the "Sort by" tool. If someone wants this enough then develop a "Sort by" plugin that does the job.
For some reason one must click the "Sort by" button before Action Chains or Favourites can "see" the menus.
