R: Iterate/accumulate a parameter within lapply

lapply(rep(list(sample(1:100)), 10), sort, partial = 1:10)

... is what I'm trying to do. But the partial = 1:10 term is only evaluated once. What is the simplest method to evaluate the list of ten sample(1:100)'s with ten i++-style values passed to partial?

I apologize for being inarticulate.

A follow-up question is whether there is a more efficient method of generating these samples. What might this look like in a single custom function?

Thank you.

To answer your original question: you can use the multivariate version of sapply/lapply, eg

mapply(sort, x = list(sample(1:100, 10)), partial = 1:10)

If you want to return a list, set SIMPLIFY to FALSE.
