How can I sort a clojure set of maps?

Question

I have a set of maps something like this:

#{
  {:name "a" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "b" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "b" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "a" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "c" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "a" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
}

: and I want to get to an ordered list, much like sql order-by name:

[
  {:name "a" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "a" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "a" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "b" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "b" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
  {:name "c" :value "b" ... more stuff here}
]

: how can I do this?

Function sort-by is what you're looking for:

(def s
  #{
    {:name "d" :value "b" }
    {:name "b" :value "b" }
    {:name "c" :value "b" }
    })
(sort-by :name s)
