If you sort on two things, the second one is secondary sorting. This is done when after sorting some values are equal and need a further element to sort them. A classic example is sorting names. In a phone book, names are listed in surname order, and within each surname people are then listed in first name order. The surname is the primary sort and the first name is the secondary sort.
