You'd have to post an example of that, but you could try deleting some
of the entries before sorting so see whether you can still reproduce the
problem with a smaller list.

I didnt say not to use stable sorting, but write a generic function
and hacky code. It is always better to adopt a generic approach.

Write a comparator instead of dirty hacks

Hi,
i would like to sort a list of lists. The list is first sorted on the

(which I can't).
eg. records = [['dog',1,2], ['chair',2,1], ['cat',1,3], ['horse',3,4],
['table',3,2], ['window',3,5]]
I want sorted to [['dog',1,2], ['
