if you have the following list
* Test Sorting
** TODO Charlie
** WAITING Beta
** TODO Alpha
** STARTED Beta
** STARTED Charlie
** TODO Beta
** STARTED Alpha
** WAITING Charlie
** WAITING Alpha

calling org-multi-sort with ?o ?a will sort it like this
* Test Sorting
** TODO Alpha
** TODO Beta
** TODO Charlie
** STARTED Alpha
** STARTED Beta
** STARTED Charlie
** WAITING Alpha
** WAITING Beta
** WAITING Charlie

but just ?a would completely ignore the TODO, STARTED, WAITING order.

Thanks Ryan, pretty useful.
