import kotlin.test.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val list = listOf("A", "aa", "b", "bb", "a")

val lengthThenCaseInsensitive = compareBy<String> { it.length }
    .thenDescending(String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)

val sorted = list.sortedWith(lengthThenCaseInsensitive)

println(sorted) // [b, A, a, bb, aa]
