We have a sort button that goes on our grids. This button allows a user to select from column headers to create a multi-field index. It was writing this where I first discovered that I had to remove the view from the DE, do the indexing, and then load it back in. But this is definately for multi-field indexing and it works so I'm not sure what you're running into.
