I would solve it like this- (defn multi-compare [[c & cs] [x & xs] [y & ys]] (if (= x y) (multi-compare cs xs ys) (c x y)))
(defn multi-comparator [comparators] (fn [xs ys] (if (= (count xs) (count ys) (count comparators)) (multi-compare comparators xs ys) (throw (RuntimeException. "count not equal"))))) (->> [{:name "zack" :age 25} {:name "amanda" :age 19} {:name "zack" :age 20} {:name "zack" :age 21}] (sort-by (juxt :name :age) (multi-comparator [compare >])) ) On Sat, Aug 31, 2013 at 9:04 AM, Leonardo Borges <leonardoborges...@gmail.com> wrote: > Would this help? > > (sort-by (juxt :key1 :key2) your-list-of-maps) > > On 31/08/2013 7:57 PM, "ulsa" <ulrik.sandb...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I wanted to sort a sequence of maps using a spec consisting of an ordered >> map of key and order, like this: >> >> (array-map :name 1 :age -1) >> >> I couldn't find a ready-made solution, so I rolled my own.
