I've gone through the examples, but I can't seem to find anything specific to my needs.
I have a table that I would like to be able to sort on columns 1 or 2 (no problems doing that), but when sorting on column 2, I'd like to use column 1 as a tie-breaker (where I get stumped) but only when sorting on column 2. I still need Column 1 sortable on its own though.

I know that you can do a mult-column sort but that requires a shift-click which my users will tend not to do so a single-click solution would be ideal.

Use aDataSort for that - you can provide as many column indexes as you want to do a multi-column sort automatically on a column click.
