Confirm sort container order...

[Paul Dupuis]

Hello,

I need a little help today wrapping my mind around something simple in 
LiveCode.

sort [{lines | items} of] container [direction] [sortType] [by sortKey ]

I have 3 columns of tab and cr delimited data. For example:

A B C
A A B
A B A
A A A
A A C

If I want to sort by col 1, then 2, then 3, I would reverse the sort 
statements. i.e.

sort lines of tData ascending text by item 3 of each
sort lines of tData ascending text by item 2 of each
sort lines of tData ascending text by item 1 of each

to end up with:

A A A
A A B
A A C
A B A
A B C

Is this "correct"? This is what the dictionary entry is referring to as 
a "stable sort"?

I just get this, but my mind is confusing me today.
