Or you can use sort_by_key and extract the relevant sorting key as a tuple (or any other Ord structure) e.g.

    vec.sort_by_key(|d| (d.year, d.month, d.day))
sort_by is more flexible as it works fine with borrows, but when sorting on a series of integer values or references sort_by_key is great.

> Alternatively you can derive PartialCmp for your struct, which will produce a lexicographic ordering based on the top-to-bottom declaration order of the struct's members:

Do you mean PartialOrd? partial_cmp is the method. And `sort` requires absolute ordering (Ord) not just partial.



I quite like this tuple approach.

And yeah, I meant Ord (and the required other Traits), I edited my post. Thanks for pointing this out.
