All you need to do is to call orderBy(...) multiple times.

qb.orderBy("VISIT_DATE", false);
qb.orderBy("order-column", false);
...

This is covered by the documentation. To quote:

Add "ORDER BY" clause to the SQL query statement to order the results by the specified column name. Use the ascending boolean to get a ascending or descending order. This can be called multiple times to group by multiple columns.

Also the javadocs:

Add "ORDER BY" clause to the SQL query statement. This can be called multiple times to add additional "ORDER BY" clauses. Ones earlier are applied first.
