You can output Views in a table format with sortable columns, but you can only sort by one column at a time.

Clicking any header would sort by that column.

So you cannot click on one column and sort by that first, then click another column header and sort by that next, and another to sort by that next etc.

Each click on a column header resets the sort to order by that column.

Meaning that what you are asking is not possible, I'm afraid.
