I'm pretty new to PHP and I'm wondering how I would sort a table using 2 different fields, for example sorting by age and then by name.

Sorting tables works best through SQL statements if you're using a database.

$query = "SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY name ASC, age DESC";
$qresult = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qresult))
{
qarray[] = $row;
}

...qarray will then be an array filled with your sorted values from the database. The SQL statement sorts first by name in ascending (ASC) order...or A-Z...and then by age in descending (DESC) order...or oldest to youngest.
