Hi,
suppose I have a list of following
##########################################
abdng I 10-11
abdns IV 43-45
rshts I 1201-1210
qurst XIII 87-98
..
andng IX 18293-19283
etc
#################################
I would like to sort by two fields: first sort by the second column (which is in
roman numerals) and then I would like to sort by the last column (only the "from"
part only)
so the above result would be
abdng I 10-11
rshts I 1201-1210
abdns IV 43-45
qurst XIII 87-98
andng IX 18293-19283
I can do this in C with a compare function but i don't know how
to write this special compare function in python.
can some one help me do this ? thanks
