Learn how to sort a list with a custom type when you want to use a fallback search criteria. Eg sort by last name, then first name if those match.
This tutorial demonstrates in detail how to adapt a bubble sort implementation written in Go to sort a list of numbers in reverse (non-increasing) order, rather than the default non-decreasing order. It is a useful trick to learn as it will help you custom sort other data types in the future.
