sort column ascending while sorting secondary column descending

I have a table of recent documents with columns for favorites, date received, sender, doc type(bill, statement, notice,... etc.), paid status, due date, and amount. By default the table is sorted by date received descending and we let the user sort by the other columns. So far everything is working fine.

The issue we are running into is when a user sorts by the other columns (like the sender, type, or status) we want to arrange that column ascending but keep the date received column descending (i.e. - sorting via the sender column):
[quote]4/8/13 Sender A
4/5/13 Sender A
4/2/13 Sender A
...
4/5/13 Sender Z
3/28/13 Sender Z
3/14/13 Sender Z
[/quote]

Is it possible for Datatables to do something like this, and if so, how?
