lsort uses a merge-sort, and depending on the merge-algorithm, you might be able to get away with something like this:

Code:

set newlist [lsort -index 2 -decreasing [lsort -index 1 -decreasing $list]]

lsort - need two-pass sort :O

2008-08-12T11:13:48-04:00

i have a list with such elements:
{kelly 15 1}
{john 50 4}
{jack 80 2}
{bill 70 3}
{ann 30 2}
{james 100 1}

so i need to sort it, to get:
{john 50 4}
{bill 70 3}
{jack 80 2}
{ann 30 2}
{james 100 1}
{kelly 15 1}

with first sort by 3th value and second sort by 2th value..

maximum that i can get is a list sorted by 2th or 3th value... [lsort -index 1 or 2 -decreasing $list]

how to sort it again?
