Farewell,

d[order(d$col), ]

... you served me well, even though, that's exactly the default implementation of the new sort_by() and it will retain the duplication

sort_by(mtcars, mtcars$am)

What's *really* interesting is that it's going to take a formula https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/01416a961c22b1a585ba1aa4e83e14397f0885ff/src/library/base/R/sort_by.R#L20

sort_by(mtcars, ~ am + mpg)

and a perhaps not-so-pretty way to reverse sort

sort_by(mtcars, ~ am + I(-mpg))
