Alas, there was another thread that shows that Parrot's 'sort' method can't seem to handle comparison functions that have :multi on them. See RT #59520, as well as the thread starting around http://lists.parrot.org/pipermail/parrot-dev/2008-September/000028.html . Once that's fixed (or we come up with an alternative 'sort'), then this patch or something like it will probably work. Pm
