Sorting multiple lists by a list item

Dear Henrik,

Thanks for your code - everything is working fine on the sort but now I have a situation where more than one array column needs to be sorted, first the date then another value. I dont understand the top section pasted below - it seems that this code only works with sorting one property. But I cannot re-use it again to sort something else. What confuses me is this code doesn't point to a specific array and rather its generic - I have a "masterArray" to arrange by date and then I have another column in another array called "dbArray" where I need to arrange by "ID number".

// Returns and removes the list with the lowest/earliest Date from myArray
def extractFirstOrdered( myArray )
{
    firstOrdered = null
    for( list in myArray )
    {
        if( firstOrdered == null || list[2] < firstOrdered[2] )
            firstOrdered = list
    }
    myArray.remove( firstOrdered )
    return firstOrdered
}

How can I make this code sort specific arrays by name rather than generically ?

Thanks again for your help.
