[Numpy-discussion] stable sort for structured dtypes?

Hello all,
I need to sort a structured array in a stable manner. I am also sorting
only by one of the keys, so I don't think lexsort() is stable in that
respect. np.sort() allows for choosing 'mergesort', but it appears to not
be implemented for structured arrays. Am I going to have to create a new
plain array out of the one column I want to sort by, and run np.artsort()
with the mergesort in order to get around this? Or is there something more
straightforward that I am missing?
Thanks,
Ben Root
