Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
It would be nice to be able to sort on multiple columns.
#### What is the expected behavior?
The user can sort the grid with multiple columns at a time
#### What is the current behavior?
The user can sort the grid with a single column
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
The app I'm working on has a requirement for multi-column sort. I've used other, non-angular, grids in the past and they have supported this.
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
Angular 4.3.6
Material 2.0.0-beta.10
Typescript 2.5.2
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the sort interface and MatSort behavior referenced in the title, then trace how the current single-column sort is exposed to the grid. Done means the grid can sort by multiple columns at once while preserving a clear, documented interface and behavior.
