multiple sorting ?

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to SQL and databases, and i've come up with a problem
to sort my data. I'm trying to do a basic forum thing.
In my table i've got a column subject, a column content and a date.
I'd like to sort the data first by date, then by topic, and then by
date gain, if you see what i mean.
I would like to group entries that have the same subject together,
sort them by date, and inside each group sort by date as well.
Am i making sense ? Is it possible to do that or am i thinking the
whole thing in a wrong way ?

Thanks,
Romain.
