[portland] Sorting A List of Tuples

[Rich Shepard]

   All the information I find on sorting lists assumes the list has only a
single value to be sorted. What to do with multiple values when the sort is
on the second or third item and all must be kept together?

   I have lists of tuples which I'd like to sort on the second item while
retaining the relationships among the item pairs.

   Could I do
 	terms.sort([][1])
?

   A pointer to a reference would be fine.
