I would like to sort columns doubly, example:
Short by years and also genres. That i can see by years and not have the genres scattered.
Other option would be use the Filter but i would have input year by year manually.
I wanna know how songs i have from each genre in each year but if i sort only by year the genre will be scattered.

For the column definition use the property "Sort by" and e.g.
`%year% %genre%`
then sort by that column.
Or sort first by the column with the genre data and then by the column with the year data.
