Interview Prompt

Given a list of dicts and an ordered list of key names, return the records sorted ascending by the first key, then by the second key for ties, and so on.

Summary

When two things tie, something has to break the deadlock.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
