Great, Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

Sorry for the messy patch, I didn't check it properly prior to posting
it. I have reworked the patch and also split it up into two.

Now the first patch contains only the internal rework to remove the
limits and converting the data containers from arrays to std:vector.
I've also grouped the three entries in ScSortParam into a own struct
as you suggested, which resulted in quite a number of changes.

Once reviewed this patch can be pushed directly to master since it is
self contained and doesn't change the old
behavior, me thinks.

The second patch is for test purpose only. It basically adds a fourth
sort key when you press the "Add" button.

Testing my proposed patch some more, I realize it causes more new
problems than it solves. I'll
 have another look at it later.
