Multi-Column sort with a fixed 1st column sort order.

I'm trying to allow sorting on a table, but I need the table to always be sorted by a particular column first, then the selected column. So with columns A, B, C, D. If a user clicks on C, I need the sort to be A then C. Preferably they would still be able to sort A asc/desc and when clicking C it would be A , C. Couldn't find anything in search that resembled this.

    Thanks! Seems like I should have been able to find that, I guess sometime the answer is right in front of you.
