Filtering a Gallery using radio buttons - need help with the logic

I have a gallery of devices (laptops, desktop PCs, etc.) that I want to present to users. There are two criteria that they may use (independently or together) to filter the gallery: Platform (Mac OS X or Windows) and Type (All-in-One, Desktop or Laptop/Tablet). Each criteria has a radio button that by default is blank but may be set to any one of the available choices.

Here is the current formula I'm using:

SortByColumns(Filter(colCurrentDevices,radioPlatform.Selected.Value in 'Operating System'.Value && radioDevType.Selected.Value in 'Device Type'.Value),"DeviceBaseCost",Ascending,"Title",Ascending)

I know that I need some kind of nesting logic in there to adjust what's displayed based on whether they've made a choice in the radio buttons or not, but I'm just spinning my wheels trying to figure it out.

Basically, with the radio buttons blank (no value selected on either), I want to display all of the devices. With one or the other, or both selected, the view should narrow down to only those devices meeting the selected criteria.

Here is my attempt at the formula. I am doing this freehand, so there may be some typos.

SortByColumns( If( If(!IsBlank(radioPlatform.Selected.Value) && !IsBlank(radioDevType.Selected.Value), Filter(colCurrentDevices,radioPlatform.Selected.Value in 'Operating System'.Value, radioDevType.Selected.Value in 'Device Type'.Value), If(!IsBlank(radioPlatform.Selected.Value), Filter(colCurrentDevices,radioPlatform.Selected.Value in 'Operating System'.Value), If(!IsBlank(radioDevType.Selected.Value), Filter(colCurrentDevices,radioDevType.Selected.Value in 'Device Type), colCurrentDevices ) ) ) ), "DeviceBaseCost",Ascending,"Title",Ascending)

@Jeff_Thorpe , that was almost perfect, but had an extra If in there and was missing a closing '. What I ended up with (which works exactly as I need it to) is:

SortByColumns( If(!IsBlank(radioPlatform.Selected.Value) && !IsBlank(radioDevType.Selected.Value), Filter(colStandardDevices,radioPlatform.Selected.Value in 'Operating System'.Value, radioDevType.Selected.Value in 'Device Type'.Value), If(!IsBlank(radioPlatform.Selected.Value), Filter(colStandardDevices,radioPlatform.Selected.Value in 'Operating System'.Value), If(!IsBlank(radioDevType.Selected.Value), Filter(colStandardDevices,radioDevType.Selected.Value in 'Device Type'.Value),colStandardDevices ) ) ), "DeviceBaseCost",Ascending,"Title",Ascending)
Note: I changed the collection name to "colStandardDevices" because I ended up splitting them into two galleries (Standard Devices and Premium Devices) for clarity within the App.
