Description:
if you could rearrange the column order (bug 2404 http://bugs.mysql.com/2404) then you could select and sort by multiple columns.

How to repeat:
you can select multiple columns by clicking on the column name in the "query window" and dragging across other column names, but then you cannot sort the selected columns as a group.

Suggested fix:
there should be a right click context menu with a sort option or a button on the toolbar that allows you to sort a grouping of columns in ascending or descending order.

synopsis should read "cannot sort by multiple columns using GUI" to be more clear

Thank you for your interest in the MySQL graphical administration tools.
We recommend that you use our MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query
Browser.  The MySQLGUI and MySQL Command Center legacy products are
deprecated, and we are no longer maintaining those projects.
