   I think that I'm making progress, but I'm still not there. Here's the
relevant portion of the function:

 	proper = lambda t: (t[3],t[2], t[1], t[0], t[5])
         sorted(self.appData.tsets, key=proper)
 	for i in range(len(self.appData.tsets)):
 		row = self.appData.tsets[i]
 	        # select component, subcomponent, variable names
         	curComp = row[3]
 		curSub = row[2]
 	        curVar = row[1]
 	        tb.textOut(row[3])
 	        tb.x += 9
 	        if row[2] == '':
 	        tb.x += 36
 	        tb.textOut(curSub)
 	        tb.x += 9
 	        tb.textLine(curVar)
 	        for i in range(7):
 	        if i == row[16]:
 			print curVar, row[0], row[5], row[4]

   This throws no errors, but the resulting list is still not in order:

 	FloodControl Poor 1 Left Shoulder
 	FloodControl Average 2 Trapezoid
 	AnimalRefugia Poor 1 Left Shoulder
 	AnimalRefugia High 3 Right Shoulder
 	FloodControl High 3 Right Shoulder
 	AnimalRefugia Adequate 2 Trapezoid

   The third FloodControl should follow the second one. Is my syntax error
obvious?
