How to sort array of object by multiple field with different orders

Question

I have an array of objects Dog. Dog has several fields:

• name (String)
• color (String)
• kind (String)

If I want to sort the array by name, color, and kind in ascending order, I can do:

dogs.sort_by { |dog| [dog.name, dog.color, dog.kind] }

but what if I want to reverse only by the first field, i.e.,

• name (descending)
• color (ascending)
• kind (ascending)

Is there any solution without introducing some hash representing color and kind by Intergers (we can apply - to integers when sorting)?
