@jesscat - you are absolutely right, there is a difference exactly as stated. I am kind of on the fence on this one and could be convinced to change it so that you have to reverse the order in the plugin.
I did it the way it is currently because it is how I mentally think, and in other applications if you are asked to specify a primary and then secondary sorts you would always put the primary sort first.
That you have to click on columns in Calibre in the opposite order is just a function of how grid sorting works, not intutively how our brains think about how to sort.
So if I want to sort by author and then by title, to me it makes sense to have author at the top and title underneath.
However I am well aware that this is the opposite of what you would actually click on in the grid. What do people prefer?
