Well, if the elements are supposed to stay together, why wouldn't you
tie them first, sort, and then untie them ?
>>> np.sort(a.view([('',int),('',int)]),0).view(int)
The first view transforms your 2D array into a 1D array of tuples, the
second one retransforms the 1D array to 2D.
Not sure it's better than your lexsort, haven't timed it.
