in thread Spoiled by Perl
coincidentally I procrastinated this Sunday implementing syntactic sugar for exactly this in Perl5.
There are some edge-cases tho, which keep we wondering ...
In Raku:
- how do you decide its a cmp or <=> ?
- what if you want to apply another ordering? Like Czech sorting?
- how do you sort by multiple criteria? Method chaining?

an optimizer detecting a good case for a Guttman-Rosler Transform transform would be more impressive tho. ;-)
