 Sorry, I should have been more clear in my comment.

 As a simple example, consider the Latest Posts (or Query Loop) block.
 There is currently an `orderBy` param.  Corresponding to that param, there
 is a select/dropdown in block properties UI.

 If/when the REST API supports multi-level `orderBy`, the GB UI (for
 specific blocks) will need a way for content editors to specify a multi-
 level `orderBy`.

 Unfortunately, I don't currently have any bright ideas about what those UI
 changes could/should be :-)  and would be perfectly happy (at least on 1st
 release) with having to go into Code Editor mode to specify a multi-level
 `orderBy`.

 Does that make sense?
