Using sortBy on multiple elements in a List of Nested Tuples in Scala

Given the following data type [((String, String), Double)] in Scala how would I used the sortBy function to sortby the First String then the second String? There are some answers for sorting on multiple values but what about in the case below?

[((String, String), Double)]

var test =
List((("C","c"),4.3), (("A","c"),1.4), (("C","d"),80.1))

test.sortBy(???).foreach(println)


Output should provide following

(("A","c"),1.4),
(("C","c"),4.3),
(("C","d"),80.1)

Since the elements within each tuple ((s1, s2), d) are already in the order (from left to right) you want for the sorting, you can simply do this:

((s1, s2), d)

test.sortBy(identity)
// List[((String, String), Double)] = List(((A,c),1.4), ((C,d),80.1), ((D,c),4.3))


Or, just use sorted:

sorted

test.sorted
// List[((String, String), Double)] = List(((A,c),1.4), ((C,d),80.1), ((D,c),4.3))


You can do that sorting by a tuple where every element, from left to right is more relevant.

var test = List((("D","c"),4.3), (("A","c"),1.4), (("C","d"),80.1))

test.sortBy case ((a,b),c) => (a,b,c) .foreach(println)
