Dynamic sorting in playlists

When creating a dynamic playlist, there is the option to sort by one of a number of fields in a predefined dropdown list. Rather than having a long list of predefined single sort fields, it would be handy to be able to sort by multiple fields which could be dynamically defined, perhaps implemented in a similar way to how the filters are added when creating a dynamic playlist.

For example, attached is a screen grab of how another player implements multiple sort fields and sort order.

Multiple sorting would be nice in general, including the library.

Also, I know that you have to define the order of the dynamic playlists on the definition because of Limit to. But once the list is defined would it be difficult to order it using the column headers?
Or at least enable the Sort by in the definition only when Limit to is enabled and if it is not used allow it to be sorted with the column headers.

I also miss ordering in static playlists.
