Sorting a table using multiple columns
I see this tread is quite old, but sorting a visual by one column and then a second column is as simple as clicking the 1st column header to sort ascending or decending. Then simply hold the <Shift> key down and click on the header of the second column.
Of course you can just keep the <Shift> pressed and click on a 3rd, 4th etc until happy.
I hope this helps.

The "Accepted Solution" is definitely wrong. With that sample data, even if you don't specify an order in Power Query, the result is the same:
And no matter what sort order you specify in it, it will stay the same. In a table visual data will be sorted from left to right. In this case Team > Country > Plan > Actual. If you sort by a specific column, then - I think - the sort order will be "Selected Column" then from left to right. If you want to sort a table by multiple columns, the only option you have is to have a concatenated column with the necessary columns and specify the sort order on that column, which is obviously not a nice workaround, but might work in some cases.
Likely you can verify this using DAX Studio and check the executed query behind the curtains.
