It's an open bug/request that you have to have Name in the list; you  
would have to add Firstname and Lastname separately.

To choose a secondary sort field, you click the small triangle instead  
of the column name. Ideas on how to make this clearer are welcome -  
the tooltip is pretty good though.

Depending on if you click a triangle or a column name, you either add  
another secondary field or just sort on the new column - the tooltip  
tells you what's going to happen.

This is what my sortorder pref looks like when it's set to name and  
then email:

a:2:{i:0;a:2:{s:5:"field";s:8:"lastname";s:9:"ascending";b:1;}i:1;a:2:{s:5:"field";s:5:"email";s:9:"ascending";b:1;}}
