Try doing the sorting in the opposite order of what you want. For example, if you want: 1. sorted in ascending order by index 1 of the sublist, and then 2. sorted in descending order by index 2 you should do the opposite order, meaning: 1. sort by descending order by index 2, then 2. sort by ascending order by index 1.

It looks like it worked, but the Dynamo data is missing some of the data that the excel has. For example, Excel’s row 3 doesn’t look like it exists in the dynamo data. But for what is in Dynamo, it is sorted first by ascending column D, then by descending column E so it looks like it worked. Can you show where it doesn’t? ---

Check the data in row D to make sure that there aren’t more places after the decimal you can’t see. It might be ordering to a higher significant digit that you can’t see. ---

Try with an == or \> node. It shouldn’t be able to just reset the sorting after a random amount of items. ---

Ok. I’ll try. Thanks!
