Y asked for the same thing a few days ago in http://forum.world.st/Multiple-sorting-helper-td4770613.html

Something like:

sorter := MultipleSortCriteria new 
               add: #lastName; 
               add: [:each | each personalInfo age ] ascending: false. 
aCollection asSortedCollection: sorter. 

Exactly!!!  

And... what is most important for me, is that to the MultipleSortCriteria I would like to ask #sortBlock :)

Thanks Esteban for better explaining what I was looking for ;)

I always liked this approach:

Don���t think anyone���s ported it to Pharo yet though.

Cheers,

Note that I have a public experimental port to Pharo in SmalltalkHub that I already announced once (in http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~nice/NiceVMExperiments but I can't tell exactly the package name TagSortFunction or something like that, the web interface of SmalltalkHub is currently showing me a debugger with nil does not understand #data).
Yes, I know VM-experiments is not the right place for such package, but at the time I didn't find where to create a new project...

Since I got absolutely zero feedback after a long thread, I assumed it was not interesting anybody...

But my personal opinion differs: this should be included in each and every Smalltalk.
