You're just going to have to do it in multiple steps for the forseeable future.  The selection stuff in ETable is a nightmare, and the maintainers pissed off to do more fun things and left it with us to deal with - and nobody knows how it works.

To me doing it multiple steps seems a fair bit simpler, less error prone and less clumsy than doing multiple range selections, but maybe thats me.

It may also be a GNOME policy, it wouldn't make sense if evo worked differently to other gnome apps.
