Windows 10: How to search using multiple criteria in File Explorer?

In File Explorer I'm entering the search query below. It doesn't work as expected, and will find files outside of the date range.


How can I search for .mp4 AND .mov files within a date range?


modified:1/1/2020..2/4/2020 AND name:*.mp4 OR name:*.mov

Sorting Explorer columns by multiple criteria

I also haven't seen the capability of multiple sort criteria in many versions of Windows Explorer or the later [in Win8/8.1/10] File Explorer. Each column visible can be sorted in ascending or descending order, clicking a different column changes the view strictly to that arrangement. Generally the columns are sorted alphabetically with Folders first. Compressed/zip files are usually between Folders and files except in Type where they will be at either end of the list.
