How to sort pivot table on multiple columns?

Is it possible, without resorting to programming, to sort a pivot table by multiple columns, conceptually similar to a t-sql order by column1, column2?

the following table is a pivot table report which does not sort as desired. I selected a cell in Total to sort ascending, then thought I could select a cell in column 2 to add a secondary sort, but that it is not the case.

Row Labels comes from Row fields, and Column 1, Column 2 comes from Column fields, and Total comes from Values fields.

I thought sorting would be trivial, but alas it is not.

when I sort by only Total, the sort is correct. Sorting by Column 2 then sorts correctly, but it does not preserve the primary sort of the Total column.

Row Labels Column 1     Column 2   Total
Music 0.071428571     0.071428571    0.142857143
Scent 0.214285714     0.714285714    0.928571429
