Is there something for sorting arrays by multiple items?

[Costegillio]

Greetings!

I can't find any info in official (docs) for sorting multidimensional arrays by multiple items with choosing sorting direction.

So, i wrote this function: `
window.sortByMultiple = function(arr, field1, direction1, field2, direction2){

    arr.sort(function (a, b) {

        var field1A = a[field1];
        var field1B = b[field1];

        var field2A = a[field2];
        var field2B = b[field2];

        if (field1A === field1B) {

            if (direction2 == "down") {
                return (field2A > field2B) ? -1 : (field2A < field2B) ? 1 : 0;
            } else {
                return (field2A < field2B) ? -1 : (field2A > field2B) ? 1 : 0;
            }

        } else {

            if (direction1 == "down") {
                return (field1A > field1B) ? -1 : (field1A < field1B) ? 1 : 0; 
            } else {
                return (field1A < field1B) ? -1 : (field1A > field1B) ? 1 : 0;
            }

        }

    });

}

` If it's could be usefull, feel free to use it in sugar. If sugar already has something like that, please help me to find it.

This looks like a good candidate for a plugin. Have a look at the readme here.
