Each field has a key which is used for ordering it.

There is a default way of generating it for each field type.

Subjects and sets, for example, use the id by default.

You can change it to use the name with a short subroutine
linked from order_value in the metadata config (see the docs)

There is not an (easy) way to make more than one way of sorting
one field. It would be possible, I'll explain if you *really*
want...
