Is it possible to do a multiple Filter-sort?

So while I know, ultimately, that I can do what I'm about to ask with a custom sort, I have a shared spreadsheet that is constantly having rows added, and deleted (I.E. they add to the bottom, but might just delete row 5), which means that I would have to redo the custom sort EVERY TIME I HAVE TO WORK THE FILE (Also, this file is LARGE, and I'm worried about both not getting all the data and shuffling stuff, and doing a sort when someone else is editing (Not even sure if I need to worry about that, but I do)).

So, with the preamble and multiple parentheses out of the way, is there a way to do multiple filter-sort similar to the way you use custom sort (That is, have it filter-sort a-z in column C, then filter sort z-a in Column A, but maintain the priority structure like you do in custom sort).

I also know I can pivot table to see the data I'm looking for ultimately, but I was just hoping for a way to be able to edit based off the filter-sort Hopefully this image below helps explain if I did a horrible job typing it out:

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
If you load this table into Power Query you can sort by Supervisor first, and then by Name.

Here is a link to help you.

If you have a recent XL version ( your profile does not say) FILTER and SORTBY functions are available

How about using Sort Dialog which is on Data Ribbon - see screenshot.


Edit: If it is sorted other way than you need, please use reversed sequence - topmost name then supervisor
