Well, others in the thread have observed the same thing, so maybe it 
doesn't matter.  But the quoted code had only one if statement:

 >>def v_cmp(v1, v2):
 >>    if v1.x < v2.x and v1.y > v2.y:
 >>        return -1
 >>    return 0

 
And the first part of the compound if is a "<" comparison, while the 
second part is a ">" comparison

This produces a different sort order than the default tuple comparison.  
So it needs fixing.
