ORDER BY field1, field2, field3
gives you that result. however it is not clear what does "then 2"
mean, because it could be first two, or first and third, or second and
third option

then shows the records that have 1 checked field .
You got it . I'll try it

In my example if you have

X _ X
X X X
X _ _
X X _
_ _ X

you will get the result set ordered like this

X X X (3)
X X _ (2)
X _ X (2)
X _ _ (1)
_ _ X (1)
