I like the lambda because it's a very readable solution that doesn't require the std lib and it doesn't force the programmer (and the person that reads the code) to learn yet another thing/function. But I can suggest to also look for operator.itemgetter. ------------ In C# a syntax for lambdas may become a little shorter, but the parsing may become less easy: L2.sort(key = sub => sub[1]) In Mathematica they use the & to define lambdas, and #1, #2, etc, to denote the arguments.
