## Detailed Description

Sorter subclass which sorts by a several values.

Results are ordered by the first value. In the event of a tie, the second is used. If this is the same for both, the third is used, and so on.

Deprecated:
  This class is deprecated - you should migrate to using MultiValueKeyMaker instead. Note that MultiValueSorter::add() becomes MultiValueKeyMaker::add_value(), but the sense of the direction flag is reversed (to be consistent with Enquire::set_sort_by_value()), so:

MultiValueSorter sorter; // Primary ordering is forwards on value 4. sorter.add(4); // Secondary ordering is reverse on value 5. sorter.add(5, false);

becomes:

MultiValueKeyMaker sorter; // Primary ordering is forwards on value 4. sorter.add_value(4); // Secondary ordering is reverse on value 5. sorter.add_value(5, true);
