sort command help needed.

Hello,
suppose i have a student.dat file whose format is

studentno studentname semester marks1 marks2 marks3 total

then how can i sort first in semester wise and then total wise? I mean semester wise ranking wise record should be displayed. Semester should be displayed in ascending order (4 , 5. etc ) and result should be descending order(since it is to be displayed rank wise).

i tried with this but couln't succeed


Code:
 sort -n +2 -3 -r +6 -7 student.dat

Thanks in advance
