Managed to get a dictionary to sort on multiple columns using a tuple to set the sort order (see below). However how can I control that column "date" orders descending and the column "name" orders ascending.
One way is to sort twice...sort on the secondary key first, then the primary key. sort will maintain the order of equal entries.
