qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.2.4 on Windows 10

What is the problem

If I click one column header and then another one, sorting only happens on the last one. In my case I click on Name then Category.

What is the expected behavior

I expect it to sort the list by category, and by name within category, which is what happened in 4.2.3.

Steps to reproduce

In 4.2.4, confirm the bug by click on the column header for Name, then the column header for Category, and observe that it is only sorting by Category. The Name column appears to be sorted by date added.

In 4.2.3, confirm that it used to work, by repeating the steps and seeing that the secondary sorting works.

@glassez I believe you recently fixed/changed something related to this.

qBittorrent v4.2.3 had broken sorting algorithm that is fixed currently. We never provided multi-column sorting (probably it was some kind of side effect). There is only some predefined fallback sorting for equal values in sorting column.
