sorting a list of tupples

[David Bear]

I have a list of tupples.  Each tupple has 3 items.  The first item is
an integer.  I'd like to sort the list(of tupples), based on the first
element of the tupple.  I thought about stringifying the tupples, then sorting
those, but thought there must be a better way.  any idea's?
