import kotlin.test.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val list = listOf("A", "aa", "b", "bb", "a")

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

val sorted = list.sortedWith(lengthThenCaseInsensitive)

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