How can I sort this List in julia?

Please help me that how can I sort this List by first element?

List = ([-180.0; -67.5], 0), ([270.0; -570.0], 0), ([180.0, -510.0], 1), ([27.15, -288.75], 1), ([-36.0, -244.5], 1)

sortList = ([-180.0; -67.5], 0), ([-36.0, -244.5], 1), ([27.15, -288.75], 1), ([180.0, -510.0], 1), ([270.0; -570.0], 0)  

Thanks

You cannot sort the "List" because it is not a list in Julia

It is a tuple of tuples.

It says quite clearly that

Julia has a built-in data structure called a tuple that is closely related to function arguments and return values. A tuple is a fixed-length container that can hold any values, but cannot be modified (it is immutable).

julia> mytuple=([-180.0; -67.5], 0),([270.0; -570.0], 0),([180.0, -510.0], 1),([27.15, -288.75], 1), ([-36.0, -244.5], 1)
(([-180.0, -67.5], 0), ([270.0, -570.0], 0), ([180.0, -510.0], 1), ([27.15, -288.75], 1), ([-36.0, -244.5], 1))

julia> array = [item for item in mytuple]
5-element Array{Tuple{Array{Float64,1},Int64},1}:
([-180.0, -67.5], 0) 
([270.0, -570.0], 0) 
([180.0, -510.0], 1) 
([27.15, -288.75], 1)
([-36.0, -244.5], 1) 

julia> sortedarray = sort(array,by=x -> x[1][1])
5-element Array{Tuple{Array{Float64,1},Int64},1}:
 ([-180.0, -67.5], 0) 
 ([-36.0, -244.5], 1) 
 ([27.15, -288.75], 1)
 ([180.0, -510.0], 1) 
 ([270.0, -570.0], 0) 

julia> resulttuple = tuple( sortedarray... )
(([-180.0, -67.5], 0), ([-36.0, -244.5], 1), ([27.15, -288.75], 1), ([180.0, -510.0], 1), ([270.0, -570.0], 0))
