Hi, I am trying to come up with a clean and simple way to sort a list of objects (in this case SQLObject instances) by multiple attributes.
e.g. a Person object may have an age, a lastName, and a firstName. I'd like to be able to arbitrarily sort by any combination of those in any order. I would especially like it to be clear and simple, since I am converting a web app from using SQL to using an ORM only and so the sorting will actually be controlled by variables coming from SELECTs in a web form. In SQL this is easy enough to accomplish, and I can do it in python with L.sort(key=lambda i: i.whatever). But for the multiple attribute case, I'm at a bit of a loss. Thanks for any help. -Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
