EmEditor Sorting by multiple column groups

In EmEditor I have a file with no delimiters per row. End of row is CR-LF. I want to bunch specific columns together (i.e. columns 1-10 & 440-445) and then sort on those two. I haven't figured out how dfo do that. I place separators for the specific columns bunched and and add a top Header line to designate each grouping. However, when I go to the advanced Sort Screen there isn't a method to designate these column groups. Am I missing something ?

One way to do is, first convert your Fixed Width Columns file to a CSV. Then you can do multi-column sort. After that, you can convert your CSV back to Fixed Width Columns. To convert your file between Fixed Width Columns and CSV, you can open the CSV Converter by clicking the CSV Convert button on the CSV/Sort toolbar.
