Sorting is a fairly common activity in PowerShell. One scenario I don’t see very often is a requirement to sort in two different directions. I have a list of users and their last logon dates – I want to sort users into alphabetical order (ascending) and lat logon into descending order.

Import-Csv logons.txt | sort @{Expression="Name";Descending=$false},@{Expression="LastLogon";Descending=$true}

We have to use a hash table for the fields and the direction if we want different sorting directions. Looks a bit messy but works a treat.
