Eh, perhaps.  But this particular behavior is something I pretty much
expect from a spreadsheet format of data.  Call me crazy, but I'm used
to the Excel/Calc feature that lets me order and sub-order result sets.

others) is a "freebie" with SQL.

I'd opt for making the search field more powerful, giving it, in one way or another, the full power off SQL-queries. This would not clutter the user interface (indeed i doubt there is a sensible way to map this to a WIMP interface, see my previous post). More over it covers all use cases and is more accessible.

Banshee recently implemented search exactly like that. More details here: http://gburt.blogspot.com/2008/01/howling-queries.html (and there are further links at the bottom).
