Line 344:

Another method for multi-key sorting is to hold down the {{Key press|shift}} key while clicking on column headings. For instance, to sort by the "Text" column followed by the “Numbers" column, you would first click on the “Text” column heading (primary key), then hold down the {{Key press|shift}} key and click on the “Numbers" column heading (secondary key).

There can be a problem with sorting if the [[User:Endo999/GoogleTrans|Google translation gadget]] (see [[User talk:Endo999/GoogleTrans#Interference with secondary sorting in tables|discussion]]) is enabled in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets{{Myprefs|Preferences/Gadgets]] (in 'Browsing' section)|uncheck=GoogleTrans}}. It may seem like shift-click secondary sorting is not working because of the delay due to the translation popup for the name in the column head. The gadget can be turned on and off quickly, once enabled in preferences, from the "Tools" menu at the upper right of any page. There are many [https://www.google.com/search?q=browser+ translation+ addons browser(such translationas addons]Simple Translate for Firefox, Chrome, and Edge) that work as well or better than the gadget. For example: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-translate Simple Translate] (Firefox). Also available for: [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-translate/ibplnjkanclpjokhdolnendpplpjiace Edge]. And [https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/simple-translate/cllnohpbfenopiakdcjmjcbaeapmkcdl Chrome].
