 * hi again,
 * Is it possible to sort the list display setting by one field first and then a
   second field within each first sorts (like let say you have categories A,B,C,
   D and then names: and so you’ll have all your records sorted by categories and
   then alphabetically sorted)?
 * Thanks a lot.

 * yeah, I need to update my documentation. You can put multiple field names in 
   the “orderby” attribute, also you can have multiple values in the “order” attribute:
 * `[pdb_list orderby="state,city" order="asc,asc"]`
