It's straightforward to sort a bunch of maps by a single key: (sort-by :foo x)
But how best to sort by primary, secondary(, ...) sort keys? An elegant idiom can be found on briancarper.net*, where it was refined for Clojure 1.1 by Malcolm Sparks: (sort-by (juxt :foo :bar) x) In a very legible and thorough 2013 survey, Andy Fingerhut presents more details of the technique, including a trap for the unwary that makes his page well worth reading.** Question: Is it supported by documentation? Or is any expectation of vectors' Comparable behavior a bit reckless? * http://briancarper.net/blog/488/sort-a-clojure-map-by-two-or-more-keys ** https://github.com/jafingerhut/thalia/blob/master/doc/other-topics/comparators.md -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
