Hi @Scott Milton ,

order by status, rank

!Old method!
Jira's issue search interface (JQL) does not natively support multi-level sorting, you can try.  
1. Use the Basic Issue Search: Navigate to the "Issues" section. Click on "Search for issues".

2. Choose your filter criteria: You can add other filters if needed.

3. Sort by the primary field: Click on the column header for "Status" to sort by status first. Depending on your view settings, this will sort either ascending or descending. Clicking the header again will reverse the sort order.

4. Sort by the secondary field: After you've sorted by "Status", click on the column header for "Rank" to then sort by rank. This will apply a secondary sort, meaning issues with the same status will be further sorted by rank.
