Asort based on two array elements

[Marco Turco]

Hi all,
I need to order the following array by date and by name (inside a date).
Do you have any suggest about ?

* date is the first element, name is the second
aArray:={}
aadd(aArray,{"01/10/2015","Marc"})
aadd(aArray,{"01/10/2015","Alexandra"})
aadd(aArray,{"01/07/2015","Paul"})
aadd(aArray,{"01/04/2015","Alexandra"})
aadd(aArray,{"01/04/2015","Marc"})

Thank you in advance

Hi Marco,

maybe using a third element?

aadd(aArray,{ "01/10/2015", "Marc", DTOS( CTOD( "01/10/2015" ) ) + "Marc" } )

Code: Select all  Expand view

ASort( aArray, nil, nil, { |x,y| If( x[ 1 ] == y[ 1 ], x[ 2 ] < y[ 2 ], x[ 1 ] < y[ 1 ] ) } )
