array: [["1230", "testing", ""], ["200", "testing3", ""], ["1230", "testing1", ""], ["2000", "testing", ""]]

Basically the first value is a timestamp in 2400 format. I had to sort first by the 2nd value (some word), and then sort by the first.

So I did a Python library sort with a lambda.

But I messed up one thing, I kept getting the list back in a different than expected order.

With that bug, I screwed up the rest of the interview.

The bug was... I was sorting the first values (the timestamps) as strings, not type-casting to integers.

So they failed you for some quotes. Like that type of thing doesn't happen and get fixed 7x a day...
