wrap lines at 80 for long aliases in .aliases.csh

Noob question:

I have a long alias that looks like this (all on one long line)....

Code:

alias alias_name 'command | grep -v "something" | grep -v "somethingelse" | grep -v "yetanotherthing" | sort -k4g'

except there are about 5 more greps in there. How do I wrap that line at 80?

I tried something like...

Code:

alias alias_name 'command | grep -v "something" | \

grep -v "somethingelse" | grep -v "yetanotherthing" | \

sort -k4g'

but that's not working out.
