Sorting files on extension (kind) and then date in Finder? (Mojave)

When viewing a folder in Finder, by clicking the different column headings you can select how you want the folder contents sorted: by name, kind (extension), modified date, et cetera. What I would like is to see is all files of a certain kind grouped together, and then sorted on date. For example, all .jpg files sorted on date, then all .txt files sorted on date, and so on. So something like a 'combined' sorting criterium, where kind or filetype takes higher precedence, and then (for files with the same extension) date, and perhaps even more criteria. Is this possible in Finder? Can I perhaps even define or customize my own 'sorting rules' ? In case it matters, I'm using macOS 10.14 Mojave.
